1996 Cassette Tape Johnny Cash reads The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran audioliteratur

Johnny Cash is a legend in the world of popular music. He won seven Grammy Awards and twenty-three BMI Songwriting awards and recorded with an eclectic array of musicians from Jerry Lee Lewis to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Johnny Cash has a great love for Gibran's work and agreed with the publisher that these never-before-translated-into-English writings are among Gibran's best. Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran is known the world over for The Prophet. At last, a worthy companion to his well-loved poem is available. The Eye of the Prophet is a startling new collection of Gibran's writings, translated from the original Arabic into French and now into English. Our ordinary life and labor are inherently noble, he believes, if only we act in concert with the sublimity of nature's creations. He writes of youth, love, marriage, and truth, and plumbs the depths of nationalism, religion, and spiritual growth. Gibran skillfully weaves Christian, Moslem, and Buddhist ideals into a great spiritual tapestry chat transcends cultural divisions.
