Kahlil Gibran's masterpiece, The Prophet, is one of the most beloved classics of our time--a collection of poetic essays that are philosophical, spiritual, and, above all, inspirational. Published in 1923, it has been translated into more than twenty languages.

The Prophet contains powerful words of wisdom on such essential subjects as marriage, children, friendship, work, and pleasure--words that readers from around the world have found inspirational and life-changing. A poet, artist, and mystic, Gibran was born to a poor Christian family in Lebanon and emigrated to the United States as an adolescent, where he began studying art. The twenty-eight poetic essays collected in The Prophet are illustrated with twelve of his full-page drawings. Perhaps no other twentieth-century writer has touched the hearts and minds of so remarkably varied and widespread a readership.

About Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931) was born in Bsharri, in present-day Lebanon, then part of the Ottoman Empire, and emigrated as a child to Boston. Writing in both Arabic and English, he became one of the best-selling poets in history. His prose-poem collection The Prophet (Alfred A. Knopf, 1923) has remained in print and has been translated into more than one hundred languages. His Arabic works include Spirits Rebellious (1908) and The Broken Wings (1912). With support from patron Mary Haskell, he studied art at the Académie Julian in Paris. He died in New York at forty-eight.
