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.

He has walked among the people and formed a deep connection to the place, but he knows this is not where he ultimately belongs.
