Kahlil Gibran's most beloved work — a book you read once and carry in your soul forever.

There is a book that for over a century has accompanied humanity in life's most profound moments—when we love, when we suffer, when we search for meaning in everything. That book is The Prophet . Published in 1923, it is now the best-selling English-language text in the world after the Bible: translated into over a hundred languages, it has transcended cultures, religions, and generations without losing an ounce of its original power.

Kahlil Gibran—born in Lebanon in 1883, educated between East and West—has written a work that belongs to no particular tradition because it belongs to all. His prose is at once biblical and Sufi, poetic and philosophical, intimate and cosmic. It isn't read: it's listened to. It isn't studied: it's lived.

Almustafa, the Prophet, has lived for twelve years in the city of Orphalese, far from his native island. When the ship that will take him home finally arrives, the people surround him and ask him to speak—before letting him go forever. His answers explore the fundamental themes of human existence with disarming simplicity and inexhaustible depth.

The themes covered in the work:

· Love — not as a feeling, but as a cosmic force that transforms and purifies

· Marriage - a union between free beings, not a fusion of identities

· The Children - arrows shot towards a future that belongs to Life itself

· Work — "work is love made visible"

· Freedom, Pain, Joy, Beauty, Death and much more

This edition also includes The Garden of the Prophet (1933), the posthumous sequel in which Almustafa, having returned to his native island after forty days of solitude, offers his nine disciples his most intimate and profound teachings: on the earth as a living body, on time as a dimension of eternity, on God as an immanent presence in every breath.

It doesn't matter how many times you've read The Prophet : each rereading, at every stage of life, reveals something new. Because this book doesn't age—it grows with the reader.

Ideal as a gift for any important occasion: a wedding, a birth, a bereavement, a graduation, a beginning or an end. A timeless classic that should be on every bookshelf.
