The Garden of the Prophet
About This Book
Khalil Gibran’s The Garden of the Prophet is the second leg of his journey to infinity. The former was The Prophet and there was going to be a third entitled The Death of the Prophet but Gibran himself died before his prophet did.
In the trilogy, albeit incomplete, Gibran wanted to tell us the story of existence as he saw it through his all-seeing vision, with man’s life and reincarnation at its heart. It looks to the reader as if the Grand Spirit of the universe touched his consciousness and therefore he knew the road to eternity.
We enjoy reading The Garden of the Prophet more than The Prophet, not because the first reveals more of the unknown infinite than the latter, but because it takes us even closer to another dawn; to life’s second day, and we rejoice in envisaging an encompassing vastness never revealed to the human mind before. Moreover, we trace an overwhelming peace that is all soul.
