Kahlil Gibran considered The Prophet his greatest achievement. He said: "I think I've never been without The Prophet since I first conceived it in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me....I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher, because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer."

The Chicago Post said of The Prophet: "Cadenced and vibrant with feeling, the words of Kahlil Gibran bring to one's ears the majestic rhythm of Ecclesiastes....If there is a man or woman who can read this book without a quiet acceptance of a great man's philosophy and a singing in the heart as of music born within, that man or woman is indeed dead to life and truth."

Editorial reviews

The Prophet is the classic masterwork comprised of several exquisitely flowing prose essays written by Lebanese writer, poet, and philosopher, Kahlil Gibran in 1923, that examines what it means to be alive and a human being and the love and tenderness we universally seek. Narrated with enlightened reason and down-to-earth wisdom by Alec Sand, this abridged version of The Prophet is a must-listen for anyone with a poetic heart, as the transcendent wonder in these lyrical words gush forth from the pen and heart of a true artist.

Read years ago but after having Gibran show up in a couple of readings lately decided to read again. It is a very inspiring read for the soul. Favorite quote: "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far."

The use of word composition as well as metaphors and clear arguments were astonishing and attractive to follow.
Thank you

Liked the story line and lot of truths, which already known, is re-acquainted in a unique way. Never knew the book was so small. I had seen BIG hardbound books of 'The Prophet', probably they are with some commentary.

Good narration! but for you, I would never had read (listened) to this book.

Cheers,
VG

What didn’t you like about Alec Sand’s performance?

Alec Sand reads without any passion for the material and in monotone to make the material unlistenable.... I bought the one narrated by Robert Glenister.... Much much better

A Sad Injustice done to listener...

This is a text to which I always return, to gain both wisdom & compassion not only regarding my own situation but also regarding my own inherent lack.

Perhaps these readers are the stuff for the common story, but alas, not K. Gibran's The Prophet. For long, and long, I have loved both the content and rhythm of this masterwork. Having listened to the cca: 1970 Richard Harris copy on 33 & 1/3 reading on platter these Audible recordinhs readings are painful to my ear
Please do seek out that record. Whatever cost is to be paid the difference is music, to croaking to the ear.
