In this literary love story, Marcus Weiss, a loyal denizen of New York City, retires at age fifty to work on a dictionary he has grandly titled "The Human Gesture in Western Literature." Comparing himself to Flaubert, who read fifteen hundred books in order to compose his Bouvard and Pécuchet—Marcus immerses himself in literature, culling quotations and passages for his dictionary and treating his friends to impromptu readings of the "pearls" he finds, all the while lecturing them about the emptiness and futility of consumerism. His lover, Gina, and his best friend, Oscar, do their best to indulge him, but when they've had enough, they poke fun at this modern-day "prophet." One day, while Marcus is at work in his warm and secluded study, an old man invades his imagination, and Marcus, enchanted, allows the old man entry and begins to write his biography. Soon, time distinctions blur: does Marcus, as he looks far into the future, imagine himself as an old man, living alone with his books, or is the old man the actual Marcus, now eighty years old, looking back and recounting a time in his life when his dear ones—Gina, Oscar, and all his other contemporaries—were still living?

"Originally published in 1923 by Knopf, The Prophet is a teaching fable that is essentially a little book of life for all people at all times. In it, the author explores all of life's important issues--including love, marriage, the human condition, friendship, prayer, beauty, death, and much more. This edition is especially exciting because of the inclusion of newly discovered material--over 150 Kahlil Gibran poems, aphorisms, and sayings that have never been published"--

On the Fourth of July, terrorists attack a floating casino on the Mississippi River in New Orleans. Clarence Reed, a former Navy SEAL, is recruited to clean out a drainage pipe near the bayou. But before he can get home after finishing the job, the FBI hunts him down and arrests him for the bombing. Malcolm Stinson, a New York lawyer, is on vacation in Hawaii when he gets the news that his sister is one of the bombing victims. When he arrives back in his hometown of New Orleans for her funeral, Malcolm's father, Reverend Josiah Stinson, a prominent pastor in the community, convinces him to represent Reed. With the help of a former New York City cop, Malcolm investigates the case, but all the people with information about the bombing are mysteriously killed before Malcolm can reach them. A key defense witness in Malcolm's case is kidnapped, but when she escapes her captors, the race is on to find her. The terrorists, the FBI, and the local Mafia join the search for her while targeting Malcolm and his family in an effort to scare him off the case. But who is behind the deadly terrorist act?
