Set in the mythic city of Orphalese, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran is a poetic treatise on all facets of life, from everyday realities such as clothing and houses, to questions of love, beauty, and self-knowledge.

  • Featuring 12 original illustrations by the author, this lyric exploration of the human condition is as relevant today as it was nearly a century ago.

  • With archival printing, this pocket-sized edition is designed for both portability and longevity.

  • Hardcover gift volume with dust jacket makes an ideal addition to any home or office library.

  • Book measures 4-1/2'' wide x 7-1/2'' high.

  • 64 pages.

Born in Lebanon in 1883, Kahlil Gibran is known not only as a writer, but also as a poet, philosopher and visual artist, producing in his lifetime dozens of writings in both Arabic and English, and crafting paintings and sketches now on display in museums around the world. Influenced by writers like William Blake and Francis Marrash, his work is known and loved for its exploration of universal themes such as justice, love, and religion, and its deft rendering of symbols. Gibran spent the later years of his life in New York City, where he wrote The Prophet.

Kahlil Gibran: full Arabic name Gibran Khalil Gibran, (January 6, 1883 – April 10, 1931) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer of the New York Pen League.

Kahlil Gibran was born in the town of Bsharri in the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire (north of modern-day Lebanon), to Khalil Gibran and Kamila Gibran(Rahmeh). As a young man Kahlil emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.

He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again, especially in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi.

    Not my cup of tea. Flowerly writing explaining the human condition. The supposed prophet explaining his insights on love, death and relationships to the inhabitants of a fictitious land.. Those who like poetic philosophy and imagery in written form will probably love this book.
