About this ebook
Kahlil Gibran
Poet, philosopher, and artist, Kahlil Gibran (1883 - 1931) was born in Lebanon. The millions of Arabic-speaking peoples familiar with his writings in that language consider him the genius of his age and he was a man whose fame and influence spread far beyond the country of his birth. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages and 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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Gibran's ability to encapsulate a profound concept in two or three lines is incredible.
There's so much to think about on every page of this small book that it will require multiple readings to really appreciate what he's saying. That's not to say that he's obscure, because he's certainly not, he's mostly cuttingly precise and clear. It's that his message is, like most great teachers, a challenging one that for most of us (certainly me) would take a massive change of character and life-style to realise. Sadly, I'm far to lazy to make the changes, but maybe some of it will stick and I will be a little bit the better for it.
I bought another two of his books at the same time as this one and will read them soon: I want to learn more. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/52.5
Aphorisms might be a bit much to say for this, more or less like platitudes and comments wrapped in poetic speech/writing, to seem more clever than they are.
Some good one-liners, but afterwards, mostly completely forgettable.
