Kahlil Gibran’s masterpiece is one of the greatest books of the past century.

The prophet Almustafa at last sees the ship that will carry him home from the city he has lived in for twelve years. Before he leaves, he speaks to the gathered crowd of citizens who have begged him to stay. In turn, he speaks of love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, houses, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punishment, laws, freedom, reason and passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion, and death; in short, the prophet speaks of everything to do with life and the human condition.

Immerse yourself in this profoundly spiritual writing, each chapter of which is both essay and poetry.

“If there is a man or woman who can read this book without a quiet acceptance of a great man’s philosophy and a singing in the heart as of music born within, that man or woman is indeed dead to life and truth.” -- The Chicago Post

Born in Lebanon, Kahlil later immigrated to America, and was heavily influenced by both Christianity and Islam. His most influential work, The Prophet, has sold over ten million copies, and has been translated into more than 100 languages.
