About this edition
Written by a Lebanese immigrant in a New York apartment. Published in 1923. Has not gone out of print since. Over 100 million copies sold. Read at more weddings, funerals, and turning points than any book except the Bible.
The Prophet is twenty-six prose poems spoken by a man named Almustafa on the day he leaves the city that sheltered him for twelve years. The people ask him to speak before he goes — about love, work, children, pain, freedom, death, and everything between. What follows is some of the most beautiful writing in the English language, delivered with a clarity that cuts through a century of noise.
Gibran wrote about the things men carry but rarely discuss — the tension between freedom and belonging, the weight of work done without purpose, the grief that lives inside joy, the love that demands you stand alone even as it pulls you closer. He wrote it simply because simple is what survives.
If you have ever stood at a crossroads and needed someone to say the true thing without decoration, Gibran already wrote it down a hundred years ago.
