The Prophet

By: Khalil Gibrán

Narrated by: Chris MacDonnell

The Prophet is perhaps the most cherished inspirational and enlightening work in the world.

Almustafa, the chosen and beloved, must leave the port of Orphalese upon the ship he has waited upon for 12 years. As he descends to the waterfront, the people of Orphalese gather to question him and hear his wisdom on important topics of their daily lives.

Kahlil Gibran's masterpiece is a series of enlightening, philosophical answers to those questions. The inspirational and spiritual words of The Prophet, written in an almost Biblical, poetic style, reveal deep insights into each of the subjects in question.

There are philosophies on love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, housing, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punishment, laws, freedom, reason and passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion, and death. For many, this work provides a positive philosophy and a calm refuge andfor living life in today's harsh world.

love this

just wish audible had a plan for less money. i do understand that it costs a lot to produce the books. may re-sign again later.

Profound

It’s the One Book that captures the essence of all life and it’s workings. Poetic and profound.

Deeply Touched

I’ve heard that When the student is ready the teacher appears.
Well… Are you ready?

Always Poignant and Sublime

No Dis, but to casually call this masterpiece the Cliff Notes of Humanism and Religious Spiritually is reasonably accurate. Very refreshing and centering for mind, body and soul.

Rich with wisdom, but a little too poetic

I enjoyed the teachings in this book. I’ll look for another one that has less poetic language.
