First published in the 1920s, this book attempts to provide the reader with a guide to living. Gibran lets his protagonist, called simply the prophet, deliver homilies on a variety of topics central to daily life- love marriage and children, work and play, possessions, beauty, truth, joy and sorrow and death.
