The Prophet

De: Khalil Gibran

Narrado por: Alec Sand

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."

Soul nourishing listen

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."

Immaculate use of words

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

Good Read(listen)

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,

the prophet

loved this book, it was quite a suprise to read this book and understand that all men and women can relate to what the author saying.

A Sad Injustice done to listener...

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

Simplistic Depth...

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.

it was full of wisdom. i just love the thoughts

i feel as if he was a prophet sent to come and open the eyes of the people here on earth.

mind altering

........ ... ... ... ... ... ... .. . . . . . . .must listen to experience the message.

this story will steal your soul and feed your hear

this book will steal your soul and feed your mind and if you are a seeker after truth it will bring you many steps closer to it so enjoy and C share it with everyone you love

Mocking bird's song with the egret tones.

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.
