Kahlil Gibran's twenty-six prose poems take up love, marriage, children, work, freedom, joy and sorrow in turn, each answered as a question put to a departing teacher.
First published in 1923 and written originally in English, The Prophet has since travelled into dozens of languages, and this Bengali edition brings the sequence to readers who would rather meet it in their own. The pieces are short, aphoristic and built to be returned to rather than read straight through.
A closer look:
• Twenty-six separate meditations, each on a single aspect of living
• Bengali translation of a text composed originally in English
• Short sections that suit reading a page at a time
• Sits between poetry, philosophy and counsel without settling in one
Suited to readers of poetry and reflective writing, and a common gift for weddings, graduations and other turning points. Carried by Boipoka.
