Features: Kahlil Gibran is an outstanding and world-renowned writer from Lebanon, an Eastern literary master who stands shoulder to shoulder with Rabindranath Tagore. His representative works include The Prophet, Tears and Laughter, The Forerunner, and Sand and Foam. The modern Chinese writer Bing Xin and Mao Dun highly praised Gibran's prose poems and translated his works into Chinese in the 1920s. Bing Xin once remarked, "Gibran's prose poems are filled with the subtle philosophy and flowing language of the East, which left a deep impression on me!" The Prophet represents the highest achievement of his literary creation and brought him worldwide fame. The West calls it "the philosophy of the great," while the Arab critic Nuemann describes it as "a tree deeply rooted in the soil of human life, and as long as humanity exists, this tree will live."
