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.

描述纪伯伦的作品是困难的,尤其对于《先知》:分析太僵硬而全无意趣,概括太浅薄而隔靴搔痒,至于印象的鉴赏,更如韦勒克在《文学理论》中所讥讽的——不过是艺术品的拙劣模仿。接下来我说的话,对纪伯伦作品发表的意见,也将不免于以上几种批评。但是,假使话语是真诚的,自...
评分“当那些睡在绒毛上面的人所做的梦,并不比睡在土地上的人的梦更美好的时候,我怎能对生命的公平失掉信心呢?” ——纪伯伦 这些天看先知,也顺便浏览了一些冰心翻译的其他部分有关纪伯伦的诗集,这位黎巴嫩的“...
评分 评分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...

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
读的版本是德国人出的。现在正在对着字典读第二遍。第一遍读下来有几章很不错,有几章不理解。尤其像Love那一章,很虐很亚洲的感觉=_,=
评分Thumb up!
评分仰望智慧。不过语言读起来还真是要费一番功夫
评分好像圣经一般 让心灵平静而豁达
评分不厚的诗集,却在越排越满的schedule下读了快一个月才读完。幸而有这样深挚的灵魂,使人不致沉沦越发现实的迷思。
