The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931) is one of the best-selling and most spiritually beloved books of the 20th century, presenting the teachings of Almustafa — a prophet about to depart from the city of Orphalese — on love, marriage, children, work, joy, sorrow, prayer, and death. Gibran drew on both the Sufi mystical tradition and Christian spirituality to create a work of poetic prose that speaks to the universal human longing for meaning and connection. The Prophet has been a companion to seekers, lovers, and grieving souls for nearly a century.
