After twelve years among the people of Orphalese, the prophet Almustafa is finally called home by the ship that will carry him away — but before he leaves, the city gathers to ask him everything: about love and marriage, work and freedom, joy and sorrow, and what it truly means to live well. His answers, in prose so lyrical it borders on song, have made this one of the most quietly beloved books of the twentieth century.Kahlil Gibran's meditative masterpiece distills a lifetime of reflection into twenty-six luminous essays. A book people return to again and again for weddings, hard days, and quiet ones — timeless, brief, and unexpectedly moving.
