This classical work of philosophy has inspired readers around the
world for generations.
Upon its initial publication in 1923, Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet
garnered little acclaim, but it became a critical success in the 1930s
and again in the 1960s when it inspired a generation of readers with its
philosophical discussion on subjects such as love, friendship, beauty,
and freedom. Gibran's masterpiece of poetic prose has now been
translated into more than a hundred languages, and is regarded as one of
the most important works of the early twentieth century. This Word Cloud
edition of The Prophet and Other Tales also includes two of Gibran's
earliest works, The Madman and The Forerunner, along with
illustrations by the author.
