Almustafa, about to sail home after twelve years abroad, is stopped at the harbour and asked to speak on love, marriage, children, work and death.
Kahlil Gibran shapes those answers into twenty-six prose poems, each short enough to finish in a sitting and written in a cadence closer to scripture than to ordinary prose. The 144-page hardbound deluxe edition holds the complete sequence in one slim volume.
Key features:
• twenty-six prose poems in Gibran's full sequence
• passages on marriage, children, giving and grief
• a slim 144-page hardbound volume that travels easily
• text often chosen for weddings and memorial readings
