Kahlil Gibran's Little Book of Love

By: Neil Douglas-Klotz - editor, Khalil Gibrán

Narrated by: Kevin Kenerly

Kahlil Gibran's aphorisms, stories, and poetry on a theme remain among some of those best known to Western readers. His views, however, extend beyond the most-quoted "greeting card" sayings to a wide realm of human emotions and relationships - passion, desire, idealized love, justice, friendship, and the challenges of dealing with strangers, neighbors, and enemies. This little book captures love and life in all of their complexities and nuances.

This little volume includes over ninety selections from Gibran's writings and is divided into four sections:

• Love's Initiation
• The Veils of Love
• All of Our Relationships
• A Love Beyond

This audiobook, ideal for all gift-giving occasions, is informative, illuminating, and inspirational.

Whom Do We Love?

When I stood, a clear mirror before you,

you gazed into me and saw your image.

Then you said, "I love you."

But in truth you loved yourself in me.

Love is the veil between lover and lover

brilliant poet and storytelling

I love Khalil Gibran's books, one of my favorites is Prophet narrator did a great job.

Here's the thing..

Gibran is one of my absolute favorite writers/poets/philosophers of all time. I can't talk about his work because I feel like I could live a 100 years, and still not be qualified enough to critique Gibran's utterly beautiful and deeply profound body of works. It's thought-provoking. It's timeless. Just go read it/listen to it.

About the performance, the narrator was exquisite. Truly an excellent choice!

little samples

ive only read the prophet so far so it was good to hear parts of his other works and to get the background information for context.

Audio editing

The audio sounds highly compressed / de-essed /processed. And that takes away from the intelligibility of speech.
Some words are not clear at all I had to listen to the book multiple times.

The Arabic words and names are pronounced wrong

a poem for every aspect of life

this book contains a collection of his poems and ends with a brief summary/biography of his life. he lived an amazing and tumultuous to write so much love and life and God.
