Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran is a book of 26 prose poetry fables published in 1923. When the prophet Almustafa prepares to leave the city of Orphalese after twelve years, the people gather to hear his farewell wisdom. He speaks on fundamental aspects of human existence—love, marriage, children, work, freedom, joy, sorrow, death, and more. This spiritual guide has become one of the most translated and bestselling books of all time, never going out of print since its original publication. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
