The Prophet: The Original 1923 Edition With Complete Illustrations (A Classics Kahlil Gibran Novel) Paperback – February 1, 2023

Product as described but Amazon has no control over delivery of orders….those incompetent and neglectful drivers left it, and many other deliveries, out in the weather and items were rained on and ruined.

I’ve heard of Khalil Gibran but this was my first experience reading of his work. I look forward to reading the rest of his imaginative poetic and very evocative words. They touch my soul and feel like love notes from beyond. It’s simply beautiful.

I bought this as a gift for my mom. She's never read Gibran, and I think she'll find deep meaning in his work as a spiritual person. The golds and blues on the cover are beautiful, and the binding is sturdy. "And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."

As a prophet seeks to leave a city, he leaves last words of treasure to the people on the shoreline city. His teaching are poignant and applicable today. He expounds in prose on many requested topics to help us be kinder to ourselves and our neighbor as well as strangers.This is a short powerful read.

A book I’ve read many times

I first heard about The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran from someone I met on a plane to Virginia. Over mimosas and a conversation about philosophy and life, they recommended it, and I’m glad they did. This book is a true gem, exploring topics like love, freedom, and purpose in a way that feels both timeless and deeply personal. It’s definitely one to keep handy—you’ll find yourself reaching for it again and again for guidance and inspiration. Although it was written over a century ago, its wisdom remains incredibly relevant. A must-read for anyone seeking insight and meaning.

Thin pages and bent corners galore. It’ll do for the first read

Impressive work but much smaller and thinner than photo still 5 stars because it is jam packed with useful information
