[Gibran's] poetry always roots me in my humanity." --Rupi Kaur, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Milk and Honey, The Sun and Her Flowers, and Home Body A stunning new hardcover edition--with a full linen case, copper stamping, turquoise gilded edges, and colored endpapers--of one of the world's most beloved and popular spiritual classics, featuring a new foreword by Rupi Kaur A Penguin Classics Hardcover The most famous work of spiritual fiction of the twentieth century, The Prophet is rooted in Kahlil Gibran's own experience as an immigrant and provides inspiration to anyone feeling adrift in a world in flux. As a prophet named Almustafa is about to board a ship to travel back to his homeland after twelve years in exile, he is stopped by a group of people who ask him to share his wisdom before he leaves. In twenty-eight poetic essays, he does so, offering profound and timeless insights on many aspects of life, including love, pain, friendship, family, beauty, religion, joy, sorrow, and death. An immediate success when first published in 1923, The Prophet is a modern classic, having been translated into more than forty languages and sold more than ten million copies in the United States alone. The message it imparts, of finding divinity through love, made it the bible of 1960s culture and continues to touch hearts and minds across generations and national borders. This edition is illustrated with twelve of Gibran's famous visionary paintings and features a foreword by Rupi Kaur. In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Review: Perfect Quality. - Cloth bound cover with printed foil design on the front cover. The lettering color ; as well as the picture illustrations, are entirely printed in blue ink. There is a removable price sticker on the back of the book, which it is hard to remove without it leaving glue residue behind, therefore I myself left it as it was. The sprayed edges are also of blue metallic color. Very nice quality book I recommend buying it. My copy of the book had only a very tiny indentation on the edge of the top front cover but hardly anything to make a fuss about. Review: Beautiful physical book / perception altering offerings - I encountered this book when I was 9 years old and it completely changed the way I lived my life and viewed others. No more woe is me, nor life isnʻt fair. Instead I realized my actions and perceptions are in my control. Truly mind altering. Annually I have a selection of books and other writings, including The Prophet, that I read again. The Prophet is always fresh and I come away with new eyes and attitude. The hardcover book is beautiful with the book pages kissed with a serene blue that is reflected on the cover and the text within. Just looking at the book makes me feel calm and ready for the words of love, acceptance, and the freedom to be. I purchased this book for myself to replace the tattered paperback I was given as a child. After reading and rereading over the past couple of days I am going to purchase a few more books to gift to people I love. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #22,342 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Middle Eastern Poetry (Books) #54 in Religious Poetry (Books) #64 in American Poetry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,690 Reviews | ## Images ![The Prophet (A Penguin Classics Hardcover) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91MjEdOP1cL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Quality. *by K***N on January 23, 2026* Cloth bound cover with printed foil design on the front cover.
