A bilingual Spanish and English edition of The Prophet, with Gibran’s original drawings, following the original 1923 edition, and a new Spanish translation. Each verse of the English has a link to it’s corresponding Spanish translation and viceversa, for easy reference. Whether reading this in Spanish, English, or both, this is a simple, clear, and careful edition of the classic book that remains true to Khalil Gibran’s writing and style in both languages.
