Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet whole book narrated by Philip Snow

George Russell wrote: ‘I do not think the East has spoken with so beautiful a voice since the ‘Gitanjali’ of Rabindranath Tagore as in ‘The Prophet’ of Kahlil Gibran, who is an artist as well as a poet. I have not seen for years a book more beautiful in its thought, and when reading it I understand better than ever before what Socrates meant in the ‘Banquet’ when he spoke of the beauty of thought which exercises a deeper enchantment than the beauty of form….I could quote from every page, and from every page I could find some beautiful and liberating thought.’ I am not a professional reader, but I have loved this work of Kahlil Gibran for many years and it is my great pleasure, having the benefit of today’s technology, to read the work, record and publish it, hopefully for the listeners’ pleasure. This narration is also offered as individual chapters, both singly and as a playlist, here on this channel. Also on my website www.extreme-ventures.co.uk Music on this video by A F Mutton
