Si Khalil Gibran est le troisième meilleur vendeur chez les poètes, après seulement Shakespeare et Lao-Tseu, c’est en grande partie grâce au succès de son œuvre maîtresse, Le Prophète. Pourquoi son personnage a-t-il connu autant de succès ? Sans doute parce qu'Almustafa, le Prophète, parle depuis son cœur, depuis son observation posée de la nature. Non seulement la nature des éléments, mais aussi la nature des hommes, dans leurs émotions, leurs actions, leurs interactions. Almustafa parle et rassure l’enfant inquiet en chacun de nous.

Twelve years - that's how long the prophet Almustafa has been waiting for the ship that is to take him back home. The people of the City of Orphalese ask him to tell them about his insights regarding human life: work, love, death, for example. In the ensuing 26 speeches, he does just that. Ever since its first publication in 1923, millions of copies of "The Prophet" were sold, making it one of the best sellers in spiritual literature.

Zwölf Jahre lang hat der Prophet Almustafa auf das Schiff gewartet, das ihn in seine Heimat zurückbringen soll.

Dennis Kleinman’s mesmerizing narration of Khalil Gibran’s great classic introduces The Prophet, The Madman, and The Forerunner to a new generation.

Gibran Khalil Gibran was born on 6th January 1883, in the village of Bsharri, Beirut Vilayet, then part of the Ottoman Empire. His first book in English, ‘The Madman’, became an international phenomenon. Gibran was regarded as a literary rebel and a leading figure of the Arabic literary Renaissance and made influential contributions to Western poetry, stories and thought. Madame Rose Hanie is an exquisite short story that unravels the real calling of love and its experience in a society where women were too often treated as second-class. Rose Hanie thinks very differently.

The beloved prophet Almustafa (meaning “The Chosen One”) has lived within the city walls of Orphalese for twelve years. He has walked among the people and formed a deep connection to the place, but he knows this is not where he ultimately belongs. On the seventh day of Ielool (“the month of reaping”), Almustafa climbs a hill beyond the boundaries of the city wall and gazes out across the misty sea. He is filled with joy as he catches sight of the ship that has come to free him from exile. His series of sermons form the 28 prose poems of this book.
