Il Profeta

Published in 1923, The Prophet (Il Profeta) by Kahlil Gibran is a classic collection of 26 poetic prose essays. It follows a wise figure, Almustafa, who, on the eve of departing his adopted city of Orphalese after 12 years, answers the townspeople's profound questions about the human experience.The book is structured as a series of lyrical sermons, each exploring a fundamental aspect of life. Rather than offering a traditional linear plot, Gibran uses Almustafa to deliver universal wisdom.
