In these writings, Gibran offers verses and lyric prose that possess all the grandeur of rich music. Here are the great truths and heartening joys drawn from the tears and sufferings of man. Each work sparkles with simile and symbolism, from “Seven Reprimands”, containing wise rules to live by, to “The Sayings of the Brook”, about the secrets to beauty, wealth, and virtue. These are profound exaltations of a great soul, and a trove of wisdom as relevant today as when it was first written.

Kahlil Gibran's aphorisms, stories, and poetry on a theme remain among some of those best known to Western readers. His views, however, extend beyond the most-quoted "greeting card" sayings to a wide realm of human emotions and relationships - passion, desire, idealized love, justice, friendship, and the challenges of dealing with strangers, neighbors, and enemies. This little book captures love and life in all of their complexities and nuances.

Si Khalil Gibran est le troisième meilleur vendeur chez les poètes, après seulement Shakespeare et Lao-Tseu, c’est en grande partie grâce au succès de son œuvre maîtresse, Le Prophète. Pourquoi son personnage a-t-il connu autant de succès ? Sans doute parce qu'Almustafa, le Prophète, parle depuis son cœur, depuis son observation posée de la nature. Non seulement la nature des éléments, mais aussi la nature des hommes, dans leurs émotions, leurs actions, leurs interactions. Almustafa parle et rassure l’enfant inquiet en chacun de nous.

Lynch mobs, chain gangs, and popular views of black Southern criminals that defined the Jim Crow South are well known. We know less about the role of the urban North in shaping views of race and crime in American society.

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) was a Lebanese American of Assyrian descent, an artist, poet and writer. He was born Gibran Khalil Gibran in Lebanon (at the time a Syrian Province of the Ottoman Empire) and spent much of his productive life in the United States. While most of Gibran's early writings were in Syriac and Arabic, most of his work published after 1918 was in English. Gibran also took part in the New York Pen League, also known as the "immigrant poets" (al-mahjar), alongside other important Lebanese American authors.

El texto que Gibrán nos presenta en El profeta se nos ofrece como una revelación sobre la verdad de la vida en este mundo.

Cada capítulo del libro se resuelve en una serena meditación de intención utilitaria.

Rose Hanie thinks very differently.

The beloved prophet Almustafa (meaning “The Chosen One”) has lived within the city walls of Orphalese for twelve years. He has walked among the people and formed a deep connection to the place, but he knows this is not where he ultimately belongs. On the seventh day of Ielool (“the month of reaping”), Almustafa climbs a hill beyond the boundaries of the city wall and gazes out across the misty sea. He is filled with joy as he catches sight of the ship that has come to free him from exile. His series of sermons form the 28 prose poems of this book.

Ever since its first publication in 1923, millions of copies of "The Prophet" were sold, making it one of the best sellers in spiritual literature.
