A stunning new hardcover edition with a full linen case, copper stamping, turquoise gilded edges, and colored endpapers of one of the world's most beloved and popular spiritual classics, featuring a new foreword by Rupi Kaur, the multimillion-copy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Milk and Honey and The Sun and Her Flowers.

The most famous work of spiritual fiction of the twentieth century, The Prophet is rooted in Kahlil Gibran's own experience as an immigrant and provides inspiration to anyone feeling adrift in a world in flux. As a prophet named Almustafa is about to board a ship to travel back to his homeland after twelve years in exile, he is stopped by a group of people who ask him to share his wisdom before he leaves. In twenty-eight poetic essays, he does so, offering profound and timeless insights on many aspects of life, including love, pain, friendship, family, beauty, religion, joy, sorrow, and death.

An immediate success when first published in 1923, The Prophet is a modern classic, having been translated into more than forty languages and sold more than ten million copies in the United States alone. The message it imparts, of finding divinity through love, made it the bible of 1960s culture and continues to touch hearts and minds across generations and national borders. This edition is illustrated with twelve of Gibran's famous visionary paintings and features a foreword by Rupi Kaur.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. «This book cracked my heart wide open. And I think it's going to do the same to yours.»
Rupi Kaur, from the Foreword

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran (Djubran Kahlil Djubran) was born in 1883 in Bcharré, a Maronite Christian village in the mountains of northern Lebanon. His childhood was one of extreme poverty and, in 1895, he emigrated to the USA with his mother and siblings. He was living with his family in the slums of Boston when his artistic talent caught the attention of photographer and editor Fred Holland. Through Holland, Kahlil began to frequent Boston's literary and artistic circles. He returned to Lebanon to finish his studies and left in 1908 for Paris, where he studied with Auguste Rodin. In 1912 he moved to New York, where he devoted himself to painting and wrote for some Arab newspapers. From the publication of his first works, he was considered a figure of great importance in modern Arabic literature. With the publication of The Prophet in 1923, his literary reputation was definitively established. He died in 1931.
