Description:

A timeless work of philosophical fiction, The Prophet follows Almustafa, a wise man about to board a ship home after twelve years of exile, as townspeople gather to ask him about life's greatest questions—love, marriage, work, joy, sorrow, freedom, and death. His poetic, meditative answers, delivered in twenty-six prose poems, have made this slim volume one of the most beloved and widely translated books of the twentieth century. Gibran's lyrical wisdom transcends religion and culture, offering readers of any age gentle, profound reflections on what it means to live fully and meaningfully.
