Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran was a Lebanese-American writer, poet, and a philosopher best known for his, The Prophet. Born to a Maronite-Christian family in a village occupied by Ottoman rule, Gibran and his family immigrated to the United States in 1895 in search of a better life. Studying art and literature, and inevitably ensconced in the world of political activism as a young man dealing with the ramifications of having to leave his home-land, Gibran hoped to make his living as an artist. With the weight of political and religious upheaval on his shoulders, Gibran's work aimed to inspire a revolution of free though and artistic expression. Gibran's, The Prophet has become one of the best-selling books of all time, leaving behind a legacy of accolades and establishing him as both a literary rebel and hero in his country of Lebanon. Gibran is considered to be the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao Tzu.

    The Prophet's main character is named Almustafa, the setting is he has been away from home 12 years and he is about to broad a ship to take him home, when he is stopped by a group of people, and he discusses topics that have to do with the human condition.

    Too many gems in this book to name. I can read this book a hundred times over and never get sick of the messages. I've read this at difference points in my life, with different perspectives and something always resonates a little differently. Rare to find a book like this.

    This should be required reading for all people, especially teenagers faced with all those life questions that are really not able to be answered most of the time. Khalil Gibran has such a great outlook on life's problems. Helpful book

    Most powerful book ever written! I buy a copy for every new person I meet! Buy it, read it, highlight it, and read it again - it's like a new book with each read.

    It was a great little book. The pages weren't too thin like another had written, that you can see through the paper. It was the perfect little additional gift to give to a friend. I would purchase more.

    This isn’t the version of The Prophet I remember. I read it in 5th or 6th grade (not in school obviously) but was deeply moved by it when I read it.
