The Prophet, an international besteller and translated into over
fifty languages, is the best-known and best-loved of Kahil
Gibran's many spiritual and religious writings. Inspired largely
by the beauty and timelessness of nature, The Prophet, arrayed as
twentysix prose poetry essays, speaks of love and marriage, joy
and sorrow, reason and passion, beauty and death, and conveys the
yearning for a Unity of Being that can only be achieved through
love.
