In this poetic re-telling of the Gospel, Khalil Gibran presents a different perspective on the life of Jesus Christ--in fact, 77 different perspectives. Told through the words of 77 of his contemporaries including familiar Biblical characters such as Mary Magdalene, Peter, James, etc., Gibran paints a marvellously detailed picture of what Christ's life may actually have been like. Gibran Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) was a Lebanese-American poet, writer, and visual artist most famous for his book "The Prophet" (1923), which remains one of the best-selling and most-translated books ever written. His work dealt with a variety of themes including justice, science, free will, love, the soul, happiness, the body, death, etc.; and are characterised by an unmistakable use of symbolism and melancholic style. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
