This book, which is Gibran's masterpiece, has become one of the beloved classics of our time. Published in 1923, it has been translated into more than twenty languages, and the American edition alone has sold more that four million copies.

Gibran considered The Prophet his greatest achievment.

He said: “I think I’ve never been without The Prophet since I first conceived it in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me... I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer.”

The Chicago post said of The Prophet: “Cadenced and vibrant with feeling, the words of Kahlil Gibran bring to one’s ears the majestic rhythm of Ecclesiastes... If there is a man or woman who can read this book without a quiet acceptance of a great man’s philosophy and a singing in the heart as of music born within, that man or woman is indeed dead to life and truth.”

Complete and unabridged. Read by John Pruskin.

When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby in the early 1920s, the American Dream was already on the skids.

Originally based on the idea that the pursuit of happiness involves not only material success but moral and spiritual growth, the dream had by Fitzgerald's time become increasingly focused on money and pleasure--a phenomenon the high-living writer was only too familiar with.

In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald looks deeply into himself and his milieu to create the story of James Gatz, a self-educated nobody from North Dakota who has amassed a fortune and adopted the persona of Jay Gatsby, an Oxford-educated man about town, for the sole purpose of winning back the heart of Daisy, the woman he loved in his youth. Daisy is now married to Tom Buchanan--a brutal, ignorant racist who embodies the corruption that can come with unlimited wealth.

As Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom--and the narrator, Daisy's cousin Nick Carroway, who serves as the author's spokesman--play out the drama in a small Long Island town (the East Hampton of its day), Fitzgerald makes it increasingly clear that life is meaningless when it is based on money and glamour at the expense of the solid American values of self-reliance and hard work--and Gatsby's sad end underscores the point.

The Great Gatsby has long been celebrated as the archetypal American novel, and, just as Fitzgerald's book grew out of the tradition that included Henry James and Edith Wharton, its influence on later writers from J. D. Salinger to John O'Hara cannot be overestimated. The book remains vividly alive and widely read years after its writing.

Man is the most successful species on the planet earth. With his vanity and his pride he has convinced himself he is master of all he surveys. He is a maker of monuments from mountains, he diverts the paths of great rivers. He is the digger of tunnels and master of the air.

He walks with impunity through the depths of the ocean, over the peaks of mountain tops, the cold of space, and the wild plains of the ancient African savanna. He has split the atom and commands god’s green earth to bring forth the foodstuffs that has allowed him to multiply at an exponential rate. The plants he grows feed his children, clothe his neighbors, produce the medicines that helps him live longer than he has ever lived before.

In only six thousand years man has learned to harvest the power of mother earth and bring her goodness gushing forth in waves of green, orange and gold. He has learned to farm. He controls life itself. But on a deserted world man will come face to face with a reality as old as time. The plants have been cultivating us.

Antiquity, vast and richly textured, cloaks the land of Egypt.

In the dimness of prehistory, more than 10, 000 years ago, man began to settle in the long valley ribboned by the Nile.

Sustained by the life giving river, the land prospered and, in the Fourth Millennium before Christ, burst into splendor under the first of the pharaohs.

And in splendor outstanding in the ancient world, it flourished for 27 centuries…
