You may, of course, skip all of it and go straight to the titles if you do not want any spoilers and come back later to the beginning.

Educated in Lebanon, United States, and France, Gibran was influenced by the European modernists of the late 19th century, but even more by Francis Marrash, who introduced poetic prose and prose poetry in the Arab world. Gibran's style of writing and ideas he wrote about are believed to have been greatly influenced by Marrash, particularly the concept of universal love.

Gibran's early work was based on short stories, poems, and prose poems, and the recurring theme of his work was the experiences and loneliness of Middle Eastern immigrants in the New World. He also studied art in Paris, and most of his books are illustrated with his own drawings. His legacy includes more than 700 paintings and drawings, which are kept in the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha, as well as in the Gibran Museum in Lebanon.

He published 35 books of prose and poetry, the best known of which are: The Prophet, The Madman, and The Forerunner.

The books in this collection include The Prophet, The Madman, and The Forerunner.

Enjoy these timeless classics!

Just google some quotes

Wish i passed but at least its short. But it reads like the quran or bible.

Gibran for the ears

I have been a reader of The Prophet since high school and thought it would be wonderful to have it on audio. It was interesting to have a brief biography as well as the other two. As for the narrator, he'd make a great WELS pastor or professor.
I was given a free review copy at my request and this is how I honestly feel about it.

this man sees

sometimes you know when someone has tapped into a higher realm of understanding and although the madman and forerunner soared far above my head, the prophet resonated in ways I don't have words to classify.

the narration wasn't flawless, but it worked. this collection had the best value for the price and I am thankful to have heard it. it's worth hearing, that's for sure.

thank you kahlil for your expression! thank you Jim for your time and talent.

Kahlil Gibran

I found this to be a good collection of pieces from Gibran.Jim D Johnston was a fair to good narrator,sounding more preacher that just a reader.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.' 

Always wanted to read this

Listening to this great work is a bit more challenging than reading it, I imagine, but I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. Thanks to the producers for putting Kahlil Gibran's work in audio form! The narrator has a pleasant voice and uses good inflection to perform the book.
