ABOUT THE BOOK

The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran is one of the most beloved and widely translated works of literature in history. First published in 1923, it is a collection of 26 poetic essays (prose poems) that offer a profound philosophy on the human condition.

The story follows a prophet named Almustafa, who has lived in the foreign city of Orphalese for 12 years and is about to board a ship that will take him home. Before he leaves, a group of people stops him, and he engages in a series of dialogues about the fundamental mysteries of life.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer, Gibran was a key figure in the "Mahjar" (immigrant) literary movement. His work is characterized by:

• Lyrical Prose: A style that feels like music and scripture combined.
• Universalism: He bridges the gap between the mysticism of the East and the romanticism of the West.
• Artistry: The book is often accompanied by Gibran’s own mystical, ethereal drawings.
