The Prophet is a highly original book of 26 fables written in prose poetry by Lebanese-American author and poet Kahlil Gibran. The prophet is Al Mustafa, who is about to board a ship to return home after a 12-year stay in the city of Orphalese when he is stopped by a group of people. They begin to discuss life and the human condition. The prophet is questioned by members of his audience on specific topics of general interest, and each prompts a discourse in which Al Mustafa delivers his thoughts in a mixture of vivid imagery, moving allegories, and philosophical insight. By the time they have finished they have covered just about every topic of importance in a deeply moving narrative that reveals mankind’s deepest longings, fears and motivations. The Prophet is one of the first examples in the genre of inspirational literature and has been immensely popular since publication, selling over nine million copies and being translated into over 100 languages.
