Khalil Gibran was a writer, philosopher, and one of the most important Arab thinkers of the 20th century. His main work, “The Prophet,” reflected his philosophical and religious views. The book was published in 1923 and translated into more than 100 languages. It remains one of the most popular books in the world to this day.
In “The Prophet,” the prophet Almustafa, who has lived 12 years in the foreign city of Orphales, is preparing to return home. On the way, he is stopped by a group of local residents, who ask him questions about love, death, freedom, power, good and evil. The prophet’s answers are presented as parables, which not only satisfy the curiosity of the townspeople, but also touch the hearts of all people.
