The original self-help book and international bestseller

The original self-help book: bestselling The Prophet takes the reader on an unparalleled spiritual and philosophical journey

The time has come for the revered Prophet to leave Orphalese. Before he departs, people gather around him and ask him to speak his wisdom. Divided into twenty-eight chapters covering sprawling topics such as love, marriage, children and friendship, The Prophet forms a collection of poetic essays that are philosophical, spiritual and inspirational. The book was an instant bestseller on publication in 1923 and since then has been translated into more than 50 languages.

‘Book of a lifetime…I have loved many books over the years, but the one I would never be parted from and read again and again is The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran’ Independent

Praise for The Prophet

Gibran's most important work... Inspirational insights into the human condition

Good Book Guide

It's packed full of poems and sonnets and words of wisdom. Inspirational stuff

Tamzin Outhwaite, Daily Express

It was all the rage in the 60s, when it was almost like a bible to me. To any question, there was always a simple answer very refreshing.

Cynthia Lennon, Mail on Sunday

A book that changed me ... was The Prophet'by Khalil Gibran, which has passages about every section of life. My parents gave me a copy when I left home; it's a bit of a family Bible

Julia Bradbury, Independent on Sunday
