- Collected Works Of Kahlil Gibran

Collected Works of Kahlil Gibran is a compilation of a variety of types of works written by Kahlil Gibran. As soon as I let go of my expectation that there would be more poetry in Collected Works of Kahlil Gibran and subsequently my disappointment that my expectation wasn't met, I really enjoyed Gibran's work. There are a lot of interesting short stories that would classify as flash fiction. There are some excellent poems. There are a couple of engaging novellas. Gibran's writing felt relevant enough to today's world that I had to remind myself a few times that all his works were written before 1931. Collected Works of Kahlil Gibran explores living, loving, society, religion, and tradition both directly and indirectly with intentional, impactful, and often beautiful writing about interesting characters and events.

Since this book arrived, and I ordered it prime, so it came pretty quickly I have not been able to put it down. For the first time I have all of this brilliant writers words put together in one book. Its a hefty tome of breathtaking words of love, life, and philosophy. This seller is great. Product has exceeded my expectations, carefully packaged, arrived on time, great value, great quality and breathtakingly impressive to look at hold in your hands. I can tell this book will hold up over time and be a family heirloom first passed onto my daughter and so on to read and enjoy. However, I failed to truly understand the brilliance of this writer’s words. You must be at a certain point of consciousness within yourself. The depth goes beyond any depth I have ever read and truly taken in before. Thank you so much. Touché to the seller.

I liked everything. A bargain at the price (hardbound Fingerprint Press Edition). As I said in the title, the book has wonderfully gilt pages, similar to the paper used for Bibles. It also includes a ribbon to keep your place in the book. Some parts are one page on a particular philosophic topics, some parts are longer. It is a wonderful book with wisdom dripping from its pages, in a logical, but also at times, humourous way, or will make you smile as you think of situations in your life and what the book means to you. High quality paper and binding. My best purchase ever from Amazon, and I have been a customer since all Amazon carried was books.

12 yr old intrigued by this poet. Will let him peruse

The Collected Works of Kahlil Gibran is a treasure trove of spiritual insight, lyrical prose, and philosophical depth. From The Prophet to his lesser-known writings, Gibran’s words resonate with timeless wisdom about love, pain, freedom, and the human spirit. His style is both poetic and profound, making this collection a rewarding experience for those who enjoy reflective and meaningful literature. The leather-bound edition is beautifully put together and feels like a work of art in itself. Whether you’re revisiting his works or discovering them for the first time, this collection is a wonderful addition to any thoughtful reader’s library.

I went with a 4 star as the middle ground. I am giving the actual writing 5 stars, I am sure that I will reread multiple times throughout my life. The writing itself is thought provoking, for the oppressed, about love, life, death, truth, justice, the true message of God and Jesus, hypocrisy of the oppressors and the state and church and more. It is easy to see why spirits rebellious led to the authors excommunication and exile, his criticisms of the church and state are beautifully written and so well expressed it would be difficult for anyone to object. He is a true writer for the people. However, the quality of the book is 3 stars. The good: The pages are thin and well bound, they flow well and aren't stiff. The gold on the edges is beautiful and well done, it literally glitters in the light. The covers and spine are thick sturdy and don't easily bend/break. The bad: There are many spelling errors that do disrupt the flow of reading, it should be re-edited by a professional. The ugly: When I first got the book I couldn't believe how gorgeous it was, I had wanted to display it with the front cover out to highlight the specialness of the entire book. But I won't be doing that now. The gold foiling on the front, back and spine easily rubs off. The front has the most wear, the spine the least. This is disappointing because I haven't even quite finished my first read through of it and the front is almost half gone. This wouldn't prevent me from recommending this specific book, but not without the disclaimer that the foiling will not stay unless you don't handle the book. I hope that the publisher will take this concern, since mine isn't the only one, and redo the process for the gold foiling to prevent this on newer books being put together. I will probably rebind my copy to better preserve the beautiful design with hardier materials but I know most people don't know how to do that, and it shouldnt be needed in the first place.

(Ignore the current condition of it because it was way better when I received it lol) I really enjoyed reading this book and reading the works of Kahlil Gibran. At first I was getting it so I can read “The Prophet “ but then decided to get all the works in one whole book. It really was an interesting read and hopefully to re-read it in the near future.

This was my favorite book as a teenager. My granddaughter turned 18 I wanted to give her a part of my years. My daughter was given hers when she was 18. Three different decades and we all love it

Love it
