The prophet

"you give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give." 

After spending twelve years in the city of Orphalese, Almustafa is ready to board the ship home. The city's people gather around him before he leaves to hear him speak on things that affect our daily lives, from joy and sorrow to love and death and everything in between. 

Through a series of 26 prose poems, Kahlil Gibran uses Almustafa's voice to share spiritual and philosophical ideas that continue to resonate with people worldwide. In the 95 years since it was first published, The Prophet has been translated into more than 40 languages. It has never been out of print.
