The Prophet

Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, a deeply moving philosophical work of prose poetry, is an inspiring and metaphorical guide to life. First published in the 1920s, it is perhaps the most famous work of religious fiction of the 20th century, selling millions of copies in more than 20 languages. Gibran's The Prophet addresses many of the central themes of everyday life: love, marriage, death, beauty, passion, food, work, and play. The spiritual message it conveys, about finding divinity through love, blends Eastern mysticism, religious faith, and philosophy with simple advice. The Prophet became a major cultural reference in the 1960s and is credited with founding the New Age movement. It continues to inspire people around the world today. This edition is illustrated with Gibran's famous visionary paintings. 'His work passes from generation to generation.'
