Kahlil Gibran’s masterpiece, The Prophet, is one of the most beloved classics of our time. Originally published in 1923; this book has been translated into more than twenty languages, and the American editions alone have sold more than nine million copies.

The Prophet is a collection of poetic essays that are philosophical, spiritual, and, above all, inspirational. Gibran’s musings are divided into twenty-eight chapters covering such sprawling topics as love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, housing, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punishment, laws, freedom, reason and passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion, and death.

Relevant for all times. Beautifully written, no wonder it is such a celebrated book. For every poem there is atleast one line that makes your heart actually skip a beat by the poetic way Gibran has articulared.

The book contains all things wise and beautiful.

The meditation on work really sings to me right now. Beautiful thoughts throughout this work on the spiritual side of friendship, pain, and even of walking... Go barefoot sometimes; the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
