The Prophet

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Prophet — Audiobook
"No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge."
First published in 1923, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran is one of the most beloved and enduring works of world literature — translated into over 100 languages and never once out of print.
Consisting of 26 prose poetry fables, the book speaks through the voice of a prophet on the deepest themes of human life — love, children, freedom, sorrow, beauty, and death.
"You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth." "What is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?" "Self is a sea boundless and measureless."
A Production Crafted with Care
This audiobook breathes life into Gibran's timeless words through a carefully crafted cast of voices. Almustafa and the narrator speak in American English, while the citizens of Orphalese — the ploughman, the merchant, the judge, the priestess, the scholar, the astronomer, and more — are voiced in British English, giving each figure their own distinct warmth and character. Every line has been reviewed by human editors to ensure a smooth listening experience.
Tip for the impatient listener: Chapters 1 and 28 are slightly longer than the rest — feel free to begin at Chapter 2 and circle back.
