«Le Prophète» is Khalil Gibran's prose poem collection, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (123 pages, in French).
The sage Al-Mustafa waits for the ship that will take him back to his homeland; before departing, he answers the questions of those around him about love, joy, work, freedom, pain, and death. The book combines reflection and lyricism in a series of meditations on the human experience.
The original was published in 1923, and this French edition, from 1993, includes a preface by Amin Maalouf and a translation by Janine Lévy; it is part of the Le Livre de Poche collection (no. 9685).
Aimed at readers interested in spirituality, philosophy, and poetic prose.
Jubrān Khalīl Jubrān, usually referred to in English as Kahlil Gibran, was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist. He was also considered a philosopher, although he himself rejected the title. He is best known as the author of The Prophet, which was first published in the United States in 1923 and has since become one of the best-selling books of all time, having been translated into more than 100 languages.
