The Prophet is Kahlil Gibran's meditative sequence of poetic essays on love, work, freedom, sorrow, and the meaning of human life.

Framed as the farewell address of Almustafa, a sage departing the city of Orphalese after twelve years of exile, the work unfolds as a series of reflections offered in response to questions from the gathered people. On marriage and children, on giving and joy, on pain and self-knowledge, Gibran's language moves with scriptural cadence yet remains intimate and contemplative. Each discourse stands alone, yet together they form a unified spiritual vision grounded in dignity, compassion, and inward freedom.

Blending poetic prose with philosophical meditation, The Prophet resists doctrinal confinement. It draws upon Christian, Islamic, and broader mystical traditions while remaining accessible beyond any single creed. Its endurance across a century of readership reflects its clarity of tone and its commitment to essential human concerns rather than transient fashion.

This Sublime Books edition presents the complete 1923 text, preserving Gibran's original structure and language.
