The Prophet: An Illustrated Edition of Kahlil Gibran’s Masterpiece

Written nearly one hundred years ago by the poet and artist Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet has been beloved by successive generations since its first printing.

In honor of the author’s Lebanese roots, this special edition has been sumptuously illustrated with sixty black and silver photographs depicting Lebanon’s mountains, lakes, valleys, orchards, and cities. The images accompany Gibran’s famous text, enhancing and complementing his vivid and inspirational prose poetry.

The Prophet tells of al-Mustafa, an inhabitant of the city of Orphalese, who is departing for his home after a dozen years abroad. He enters into conversation with a number of different interlocutors, and they hold forth on eternal topics, which provide the book’s chapters: love; marriage; children; giving; eating and drinking; work; joy and sorrow; houses; clothes; buying and selling; crime and punishment; laws; freedom; reason and passion; pain; self-knowledge; teaching; friendship; talking; time; good and evil; prayer; pleasure; beauty; religion; and death.
