Twelve years after his ship first brought him to Orphalese, the prophet Almustafa watches the vessel that will carry him home approach the harbor. Before he leaves, the people ask him to speak once more - on love, children, marriage, death, everything a life will ask of them. His words have found their way into life's biggest moments - read at weddings, spoken over graves, copied into letters to people going through something hard. To parents he says that "your children are not your children"; they come through you, not from you. He draws on Christian, Islamic, and Sufi wisdom, speaking a language no single faith can claim. This carefully edited edition presents Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" as an eBook - the book Western critics dismissed, and readers in over a hundred languages have carried into every room where something needed saying.
