The Prophet

The narrative centers on Al Mustafa, a prophet who, while preparing to leave his city after 12 years, is approached by residents seeking wisdom about life and existence. His responses, delivered as aphoristic reflections, explore profound themes such as love, justice, and the human experience. Originally published in 1923, this influential work by Kahlil Gibran has been translated into over 100 languages, solidifying its status as a literary classic. The new edition includes a biography of Gibran, enhancing the reader's understanding of this pivotal figure in Arabic literature.
