The Prophet

The most famous work of spiritual fiction of the 20th century, The Prophet is rooted in Kahlil Gibran's own experience as an immigrant and provides inspiration to anyone feeling adrift in a world in flux. As a prophet named Almustafa is about to board a ship to travel back to his homeland after 12 years in exile, he is stopped by a group of people who ask him to share his wisdom before he leaves. In 28 poetic essays, he does so, offering profound and timeless insights on many aspects of life, including love, pain, friendship, family, beauty, religion, joy, sorrow and death.

An immediate success when first published in 1923, The Prophet is a modern classic, having been translated into more than 40 languages and sold more than 10 million copies in the United States alone. The message it imparts, of finding divinity through love, made it the bible of 1960s culture and continues to touch hearts and minds across generations and national borders. This edition is illustrated with 12 of Gibran's famous visionary paintings and features a foreword by Rupi Kaur.
