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.
