Product Description
Almost everyone has heard selections from The Prophet or read all or parts of it. In fact, in the United States alone over eight million copies have been sold in well over 100 printings - a publishing miracle! it has been officially translated into over 20 languages and unofficially into virtually every known language. Gibran said, "Silence is painful, but in silence things take form, and we must wait and watch, In us, in our secret depth, lies the knowing element which sees and hears that which we do not see nor hear. All our perceptions, all the things we have done, all that we are today, dwelt once in that knowing, silent depth, that treasure chamber in the soul. And we are more than we think, We are more than we know. That which is more than we think and know is always seeking and adding to itself while we are doing - or think we are doing nothing." The Prophet was written when Gibran was 15 years of age, originally in his native Arabic language.
