El profeta
Kahlil Gibran
Hay quienes dicen que Khalil Gibran escribió "El Profeta" en árabe a la edad de quince años y un lustro después lo tradujo al inglés, aunque otros datos biográficos lo fechan en 1923. Sea como sea, el mensaje de serenidad y sabiduría universal que aportó este libro sigue estando vigente aún hoy en día y lo convierte en una obra de lectura obligada. Los poemas de Gibran usan un lenguaje bello y cuidado resultado de un largo trabajo de reflexión y escritura. De hecho, el propio Gibran contó que su madre le sugería ir madurando el texto poco a poco, hasta que consiguiera expresar realmente su visión del mundo.

A fantastic book. I would recommend people get the edition with the illustrations by the author. – fuente
One of the first 'spiritual' books I read as a teenager, which gave me plenty of seeds for thought from short, but to-the-point, topics. – fuente
This book reads like a modern-day poetic religious tome. It’s up there with the Bhagavad Gita, the Tao Te Ching, the Bible, and the Qur’an. It is written in the style where it has a feel of religiosity and truth, but it was very approachable, beautiful, non-denominational, and non-sectarian. I loved this book.
He has a gift for poetically describing what children are like, what lovers are like, what marriage should be like, how you should treat your enemies and your friends, how you should work with money, what can you think of every time you have to kill something to eat it. I felt, like the great religious books, it gave a very deep, very philosophical, but very true answer to how to approach the major problems in life. I recommend the prophet to anybody, whether you’re religious or not. Whether you are Christian, Hindu, Jewish, or Atheist. I think it’s a beautiful book, and it’s worth reading – fuente
