There are those who say that Khalil Gibran wrote "The Prophet" in Arabic at the age of 15 years old and five years later translated it into English, although other biographical information indicates 1923. Whatever, the message of serenity and universal wisdom that this book gives is still pertinent today and it has been converted into a piece of required reading. The poems of Gibran utilize a beautiful and careful language, resulting in a long work of reflection and writing. And even Gibran himself said that his Mother suggested that he develop the text little by little, until he could actually express his vision of the world.
