內容簡介
內容簡介 熱烈深沉、澄澈和平,讀來有一種天地宇宙充溢胸中的「狂喜」《先知》是一本奇妙的著作,它滿足了個別心靈的不同需求。哲學家認為它是哲學;詩人稱它為詩。青年說:「這裡有一切蘊含在我心中的東西。」老年人則說:「我曾不停的尋求,卻不知尋的是什麼。現在,當我垂暮之年,在這本書中,我找到了我的寶藏。」科學家和法學家也坦承此書給他們很大的啟示。這本書,可說是一闋生命之歌,作者藉《先知》之口,遍論人類從生到死各種抽象的感情,和具體的需要。它的對象,是全人類。紀伯侖不屬於任何教派,不受制於任何組織和儀式,不倡導任何主義。在他心目中,沒有種族或階級的分別,只有滿腔對全人類和生命的熱愛,充分表現在字裡行間。書中的哲理,並不一定是作者的創見,不如說,是愛與睿智積年累月的結晶。其深邃廣博,幾乎已達到人類精神修養所能及的最高境界。它可以歷久而常新,不受時間的限制,因為,它表白了「真理」。-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------從初識《先知》到現在,已是幾十年過去了,可是,喜愛這本書的心始終沒有改變,每次翻開書頁,都好像又重新站在那個飄著雪的窗前,心中像水洗過一般的清明潔淨。真希望年輕的朋友都能看過這樣的一本書,都能喜歡它,接受它,如同面對一朵單純而又深邃的白蓮。 ——席慕蓉,詩人及散文作家本中文書介出自《先知》賽斯文化事業有限公司出版A new edition of the beloved spiritual classicKahlil Gibran’s The Prophet is a timeless classic, a guiding light of spiritual fiction that has shaped the hearts and souls of readers since it was first published in 1923.
