And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course."

This book is a priceless collection of some of his most notable works including The Prophet, The Wanderer, The Madman and The Broken Wings. The third best-selling poet of all time after Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu, Gibran continues to enlighten his readers through his celebrated works."

For the first time, all the major works of this beloved writer are gathered together in one volume. Poet, artist, and mystic, Kahlil Gibran was born in 1883 to a poor Christian family in Lebanon and immigrated to the United States as an adolescent. His masterpiece, The Prophet, a book of poetic essays that he began while still a youth in Lebanon, is one of the most cherished books of our time and has sold millions of copies in more than twenty languages since its publication in 1923. But all of Gibran’s works—essays, stories, parables, and prose poems—are imbued with equally powerful simplicity and wisdom, whether they are addressing marriage or children, friendship or grief, work or pleasure. Perhaps no other twentieth-century writer has touched the hearts and minds of so remarkably varied and widespread a readership. Included in this volume are The Prophet, The Wanderer, Jesus the Son of Man, A Tear and a Smile, Spirits Rebellious, Nymphs of the Valley, Prose Poems, The Garden of the Prophet, The Earth Gods, Sand and Foam, The Forerunner, and The Madman.

For Kahlil Gibran, love was a way--perhaps the supreme way--of achieving self-realization and completeness as a human being. "The Beloved" is about transforming one's own life through love's all-consuming power. These exquisite writings on love, marriage, and the spiritual union of souls adds a fresh dimension to our understanding of the philosophy of love and its role in contemporary society.

This 2013 reprint of Gibran's final collection of parables and drawings reflects his life's essence, intertwining memories of his youth with Eastern philosophy. Composed shortly before his death in 1931, the tales convey deep consolation and inspiration, accompanied by seven of Gibran's original drawings.
