Synopsis
Kahlil Gibran worked on the manuscript for "The Prophet"--his second work in English after "The Madman"--for several years before it was published in October 1923. Both the author and the world consider this his masterpiece, and it has been translated into dozens of languages. "The Prophet" concerns Almustafa, "the chosen one," who, after exile on an island, addresses such universal themes as love, joy, sorrow, pain, and time. These short aphorisms, functioning as a sort of spiritual poetry, have moved countless readers over the years. With illustrations by Gibran.

Industry Reviews
"It is a slim volume of fewer than 20,000 words, in which its hero, Almustafa (Gibran), at the invitation of his muse, Almitra (Mary Haskell), tells the people of Orphalese (New York) what he really thinks about everything. Its poems are incantatory and willfully symbolic, and they resonate of Blake, Yeats, the King James Bible, Laotzu and, occasionally, the off-kilter whimsy of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa."
New York Times Book Review - Liesl Schillinger (12/13/1998)

"...Gibran's works have provided countless individuals with timeless insights into love, joy, grief, ecstasy, and death, all written in that beautiful cadenced poetic style that resonates in the heart."
