Wings of Thought

By: Khalil Gibrán

Narrated by: Joseph Scott Anthony

Through his fiction, essays, poems, and art, Kahlil Gibran inspired a devoted international following and transformed modern Arabic literature. In this book, Joseph P. Ghougassian brings together the philosophical elements present across Gibran’s diverse writings, including his best-selling work The Prophet, as well as other significant works such as The Broken Wings, which tells the story of doomed young lovers, and the collection of aphorisms in Sand and Foam. Excerpts from Gibran’s letters provide a window into his mind, heart, and soul, creating a biography of this groundbreaking, mystical writer unlike any other. This systematic collection introduces Gibran as a “people’s philosopher”, who used simple, straightforward language to reveal a worldview of rich, deep meaning.

very good book, not great narration

Gibran is one of my favorite authors, and this book about his work is an amazing retrospective on his work. The narration leaves much to be desired.
