Description

The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran is a poetic and philosophical masterpiece in which Almustafa, a wise sage, prepares to leave the city of Orphalese after twelve years. As he boards a ship home, the people ask him to share his wisdom on life’s deepest matters. In twenty-six lyrical chapters, he speaks on love, marriage, joy, sorrow, freedom, friendship, and death. Blending mysticism, spirituality, and humanism, Gibran’s timeless prose offers profound, gentle guidance on the human condition. A global classic, The Prophet inspires readers to seek truth, embrace balance, and live with compassion and purpose.

Author

Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931) was a Lebanese-American poet, writer, and artist whose work crossed East and West. He is best known for The Prophet, a book of poetic essays on love, work, freedom, and sorrow that has sold millions of copies worldwide since its publication in 1923. His voice — lyrical, aphoristic, and spiritual without doctrine — made him one of the most widely read authors of the twentieth century.
