The ProphetTruth, Love, Beauty, Liberation, and Wisdom weaved into this 28 timeless poems, a trully masterpiece of Khalil Gibran. This rare poetic gem embody the conversation between prophet Almustafa with a group of people concerning life and human condition.

First published in 1923, it has been translated into more than twenty languages. The book seamlessly unites the mundane and the transcendental, concerning every aspect of life. Gibran considered this book his masterpiece and said: "I think I've never been without The Prophet since I first conceived the book back in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me... I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer."
