Echoes Of The Spirit,
By
This review is from: Treasured Writings of Kahlil Gibran (Hardcover)
"I know that the principles upon which I base my writings, are echoes of the spirit of the great majority of the people of the world..." (656)-Kahlil Gibran in a letter to his cousin, Nakhli Gibran, in 1908. "The Treasured Writings of Kahlil Gibran", is a compilation of three other books of Gibran's treasury of writings, that each contained several books in one volume. They were: "A Treasury of Kahlil Gibran" (1947), "A Second Treasury of Kahlil Gibran" (1957), and "A Third Treasury of Kahlil Gibran" (1965). A total of ten books in all, this volume contains earlier books by Gibran such as, "Tears And Laughter", and more mature and widely acclaimed books such as, "The Broken Wings." In addition to the beautiful prose, verse, and imaginative stories, there is also biographical information and letters written by, and to Gibran. This is perhaps the most comprehensive book of Kahlil Gibran's writings, and one of the most informative about the man himself. Philosopher, artist, and poet; these are some of the titles that are used to describe Kahlil Gibran. In order to fully describe this remarkable man, and this book, The Treasured writings of Kahlil Gibran, one must reach beyond a mere title and use words such as passion, purity, and even divinity. To read this book is to realize this was a mortal man who sincerely understood the difficulties of being human, and yet often looked into the tender eyes of the divine, and shares his belief that he can see this light in the eyes of others. "The riches of the spirit beautify the face of man and give birth to sympathy and respect. The spirit, in every being is made manifest in the eyes..." (488) To absorb the depth of Gibran is to discover your own soul's longing for light and life, for beauty and joy. It is to hear the cries of your own heart's ecstasy as a friend, companion, and lover. With his writings, Gibran seems to gently take us by the hand, and listen with us, for our own whisper of echoing spirit. ~Brian Douthit

Little Known Book, Best Reading Ever,
By
This review is from: Treasured Writings of Kahlil Gibran (Hardcover)
Got this book hardbound version from my father about 15 years ago. it was a wonderful book then and still will be. It's one of those little known books, one of many that I found now and again, that are the best books written. Get this book and check it out. I highly recommend Two Wishes, Satan and Cry of the Graves. Not the lightest of reading but are certainly thought provocking.

The poem of love flows towards the sprituality of life!,
By R. Prasanna Kumar "Mr. Prasanna Revan" (Bangalore, Karnataka INDIA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Treasured Writings of Kahlil Gibran (Hardcover)
Gibran!!! Among my 19 year long reading this is one of the best experiences ever I've had... I suggest you just buy the book... go to woods or a park just sit and submerge your self into the world of Gibran! And you'll come back enlightened!!!
