The Prophet

A collection of fables told by Al Mustafa, the prophet after whom it is named, the book encompasses all facets of human existence – from life until death. Gorgeous lyricism and profound wisdom come together in this short but powerful masterwork. The Prophet is quite different from other well-known classics of its time – in both form and cultural context – and yet is one of the most popular. Rooted in universal experiences, it has become one of the most widely translated works of all time.
