Features: Gibran, a renowned Lebanese writer, is a rare cultural figure who belongs both to the Arab nation and to the world. He was influenced by both Arab culture and the Bible, which is why his prose poems are beautiful, profound, and heavily imbued with cultural and religious elements. To accurately reflect the unique artistic style of Gibran's prose poems, this book specially commissions the renowned translator Wu Yan to translate six representative works of Gibran, namely Prose Poems, Sand and Foam, The Prophet, The Garden of the Prophet, Jesus, Son of Man, and The Wanderer. In these works, the author pours his emotions, thoughts, and dreams into them, creating images such as the poet, philosopher, prophet, Jesus, and the wanderer. He vividly depicts life, nature, and the prophets and Jesus revered by people, thereby conveying his life philosophy and imbuing the works with a logical and colorful mindset from beginning to end, offering wisdom and enlightenment. Thus, it seems as if we are always in the Garden of the Prophet, listening, while Gibran uses his magic fingers to pluck the strings of our hearts.
