Kahlil Gibran’s Little Book of Love
About this audiobook
Kahlil Gibran’s aphorisms, stories, and poetry on a theme remain among some of those best known to Western readers. His views, however, extend beyond the most-quoted “greeting card” sayings to a wide realm of human emotions and relationships—passion, desire, idealized love, justice, friendship, and the challenges of dealing with strangers, neighbors, and enemies. This little book captures love and life in all of their complexities and nuances.
This little volume includes over ninety selections from Gibran’s writings and is divided into four sections:
Love’s InitiationThe Veils of LoveAll of Our RelationshipsA Love BeyondThis book, ideal for all gift-giving occasions, is informative, illuminating, and inspirational.
Whom Do We Love?When I stood, a clear mirror before you, you gazed into me and saw your image. Then you said, “I love you.”But in truth you loved yourself in me. Love is the veil between lover and lover

About the author
Khalil Gibran (1883 – 1931) was a Lebanese-American writer, poet, and visual artist, best known for his debut novel “The Prophet”. Born in the Ottoman Empire, Gibran emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began writing in both English and Arabic. His romantic style of writing was ground-breaking and constituted a change away from traditional classical Arabic literature. Gibran is the third-best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao Tzu.
