Poet, philosopher, and artist, was born in Lebanon, a land that has produced many prophets.
The millions of Arabic-speaking peoples familiar with his writings in that language consider him the genius of his age.
But he was a man whose fame and influence spread far beyond the Near East. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages.
His drawings and paintings have been exhibited in the great capitals of the world and compared by Auguste Rodin to the work of William Blake.
In the United States, which he made his home during the last twenty years of his life, he began to write in English.
The Prophet and his other books of poetry, illustrated with his mystical drawings, are known and loved by innumerable Americans who find in them an expression of the deepest impulses of man's heart and mind.

我读纪伯伦的作品总是有种似曾相识的感觉,直到最近才发现,纪伯伦的《先知》和老子的《道德经》简直一模一样。 更有了一个猜想,纪伯伦是老子的学生。先不用着急否定,也不用盲目的肯定,让我们来看看纪伯伦的《先知》中流露出来的种种痕迹。 让我们先看看两部作品的内容: 老...
评分富有哲理,却又似潺潺流水缓缓而来。、 语言清丽,文词优美。这本身就是纪伯伦身为诗人的特色, 而冰心的翻译与之相得益彰,使全书更有着别样的音律美,特别适合诵读。
评分在看此书的时候,我尽量让心思不受一些外界因素的困扰,比如这本书的来历,这是件难以启齿的事,而大凡这类事,总是因为有着令自己也无法饶恕的过错。 努力许久仍是无法摆脱深重的歉疚,为此我乞求先知的宽恕。 ... 这本书描述的故事均是关于生命的真理宣言,在你感到生命绝...
评分从来没觉得诗是这样平易近人的东西。 一直以来都不这么觉得,虽然李白的床前明月光也是很通俗易懂。我也看过很多翻译过来的诗,不是意境全在翻译中成了渣滓,就是看不懂其中深邃的含义,只能望诗兴叹,感慨自己水平低得另人发指。 《先知》就这样颠覆了我的习惯。我从书架上...

In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift. It is Gibran's gift to us, as well, for Gibran's prophet is rivaled in his wisdom only by the founders of the world's great religions. On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired." Free of dogma, free of power structures and metaphysics, consider these poetic, moving aphorisms a 20th-century supplement to all sacred traditions--as millions of other readers already have. --Brian Bruya
字字珠玑!<<For self is a sea boundless and measureless. Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth." Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path." For the soul walks upon all paths.>>
