Review: The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, read by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading
The Kings of Fantasy audiobooks, the amazing Michael Kramer and the awesome Kate Reading, of The Wheel of Time and The Stormlight Archive fame, bring us another epic story, full of wisdom and truth!
The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran is pure literary art, beautifully written as prose poetry it imparts to the reader important knoledge and advice for all the challenges one can face in his daily life. This book is a powerful example of how one person can change the lives of others by simply listening to their questions and trying to give the best answer, to the best of his abilities. Released almost 100 years ago, in 1923, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran is very much relevant today!
Performed with talent, passion and reverence by this award-winning team of narrators, The Prophet is thought-provoking in each of its chapters. Kate serves as the storyteller and Michael is the voice of the main character, add to this a fantastic score of sublime, exotic music by Stefan Frankenberger and you’ll get a masterpiece audio production.
Speaking of productions, this one includes two full versions of The Prophet. The first one is enriched by that beautiful music I told you about, while the second part is just the regular recording, no music, no pauses, no time to meditate on the special messages found in this magical story.
Kate and Michael are just perfect for The Prophet and their love for this medium is clearly visible from the first second of the recording to its last. I listened to both versions of The Prophet and I especially loved the first one, the one with the music and the smart pauses just right for meditation, for you to process the potentially life-changing info hidden on the page.
This is a masterpiece and everyone should experience it, at least once in their lifetime!
