“The Prophet” is undoubtedly the most popular work of the Lebanese author and poet Kahlil Gibran. It is a composition of twenty-six poetic reflections in the English language, which Gibran rewrote many times before completing the work. In this work, the influence of Christianity as well as various other religious influences (Sufism, Hinduism) is evident.

The fundamental cornerstone of his philosophy is love, as it manifests through the power of its spiritual dimension and the human communication defined by the relationships between people. A poetic reflection on love and coexistence permeates these texts, illustrated with a mystical visionary atmosphere by the poet himself.

The Prophet, rightly considered his masterpiece, is infused with his profound desire to bridge Western culture with Eastern.
