Dive into the mesmerizing pages of "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran, a literary masterpiece that transcends time and space. With its profound wisdom and poetic grace, this book beckons you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, enlightenment, and introspection.

Set against the backdrop of the mystical city of Orphalese, the story revolves around Almustafa, a prophet and a sage. As he prepares to depart from the city he loves, he imparts his insights on life's most essential aspects to the citizens who gather around him. Each chapter delves into a different theme—love, marriage, work, freedom, and more—offering a tapestry of insights that resonate across generations.

Gibran's lyrical prose weaves a rich fabric of emotions, painting vivid pictures of the human experience. From the throes of love to the depths of sorrow, from the nuances of friendship to the pursuit of knowledge, each chapter is a glimpse into the heart of what it means to be human.

This book isn't just a collection of words; it's a profound reflection on the human condition. It speaks to the core of our existence, addressing questions that have puzzled humanity for ages. As you read, you'll find yourself contemplating the delicate balance between the spiritual and the earthly, the profound and the everyday.

"The Prophet" isn't confined to any one era or culture—it's a universal symphony that touches souls around the world. Its messages of unity, compassion, and self-awareness are as relevant today as they were when first penned. This book has transcended time, inspiring thinkers, artists, and seekers across the globe.

Whether you're a philosopher at heart, a lover of lyrical prose, or simply someone in search of deeper meaning, "The Prophet" holds a treasure trove of wisdom just waiting to be unearthed. Its pages invite you to engage with life's big questions and discover insights that will resonate with you long after you've turned the last page.

So, embark on this literary odyssey and let the words of Gibran's prophet guide you through the labyrinth of existence. With every sentence, you'll find yourself drawn into a world where thoughts dance like fireflies and emotions flow like rivers. Prepare to be captivated, enlightened, and forever changed by the eternal whispers of "The Prophet."

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kahlil Gibran: full Arabic name Gibran Khalil Gibran, (January 6, 1883 – April 10, 1931) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer of the New York Pen League.

Kahlil Gibran was born in the town of Bsharri in the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire (north of modern-day Lebanon), to Khalil Gibran and Kamila Gibran(Rahmeh). As a young man Kahlil emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.

He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again, especially in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi.

My favorite book since I was a tenth grade student. My camp counselor read it to us, one subject a night, and we discussed it. It is a poetry book. I loved the poems. The topics are on love, friendship, marriage, and other subjects such as children. This book has meant much to me as I've gone through life. I am now 71 years old, and I gave copies of this book to my granddaughter and to my brother for their birthdays. You may think you don't like poetry, but you will love this book. I promise.

Here is something from the poem on children:

"Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not
even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday."

The 1st book of spirituality, other than the Bible and Book of Mormon i read was Be Here Now. Since then i became one of Paramahansa Yogananda's disciples and now i recognize the divinity in All. Chuck Hilling says it all with fewer words. As Maharaji-ji always said " Sub-ek. (it's all One). Now i mostly read to listen to the music.

I first read The Prophet back in the 1970's, and recently was asked to read the chapter on marriage at my daughter's wedding. I bought four of these books and gave them as Christmas gifts. Gibran relates life as we all want it to be.

The book was absolutely beautiful and the person I gave it to for Christmas was thrilled - it was definitely a successful gift! I also really appreciated how nicely it was wrapped when it arrived

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2018
I think this must be my third or fourth copy of this book. I lend them to people then forget where they have gone, I am sure they are inspiring others as much as the thoughts do me. A book to dip into, pick up one relevant idea and think about it for a while. Deep and enriching.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Gift
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 30, 2015
I have purchased this book more than a dozen times over the last few decades and gave my copy away just as many times. On this occasion I saved myself the work of giving my copy away and then buying a new one for myself and just had the book sent directly to my friend. A perfect gift for many occasions.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 22, 2015
This book is probably sufficiently well-known not to need another review. It's a great piece of writing that far excels the Bible in clarity and straightforward philosophy, and furthermore, would not foment factional followers and fanaticism.
