The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran is a collection of poetic essays that are philosophical, spiritual, and profoundly inspirational. The work is composed of twenty-eight lyrical chapters in which the prophet Almustafa reflects on fundamental aspects of human life, including love, marriage, children, giving, work, joy and sorrow, freedom, religion, and death. Since its first publication in 1923, the book has never been out of print and has appeared in more than 160 printings. Translated into over forty languages and selling more than 100 million copies worldwide—including more than nine million in the American edition alone by 2012—it remains one of the most widely read works of spiritual literature. In terms of global readership, Gibran is often cited among the most widely read poets in history, frequently ranked just behind William Shakespeare and Laozi.
