The Prophet (Pocket Classics)

One of my favorite books. It is small and simple, but the discussions and wording reaches me so extremely deeply at times. The writing style might be a little flowery/superficial sounding for some...but come on, you're buying a book called "the Prophet." It's one of the 10-15 books that legitimately influenced my views on life.

Spiritual, enlightening, clever, illuminating, witty, eclectic, poetry, self-help, psychological, philosophical, musical, all-encompassing, timeless, comforting, inspiring, renewing, universal, forgiving, and wholesome.

I have read this book many times since my college days. The prophet is one of my favorite books of all times. For me, it is a calming and educational experience.

One of my favorites, I give this book as a gift from time to time and this one is pocket sized.

the classic story of a wise man leaving his best thinking before leaving; not unlike the request Lao-tzu rec'd when he was about to cross the frontier into the wilderness, he wrote the Tao Te Ching.

Beautiful experience reading this and trying to interpret the depth the words ran with. Take notes extensively. I believe they'll come in handy when you inevitably find yourself wishing to read this book again.

Two chapters stood out “crime and punishment” and the final treatise on living in the vibrant now and forever promise.

Perfect little pocket copy of inspiration and insight.

The fingerprint pocket classic edition is really beautiful & budget friendly but I have some trouble with the binding of the book. It is really difficult to open this book & keep it open. Also the font size is eye straining which makes it difficult to read..This book is about a prophet Almustafa who has lived in the city of orphalese for 12 years & is about to board a ship which will carry him to his home. He is stopped by the city people who requests him to tell them about life, death & the human conditions. So he discusses these topics with the people 👪👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👨‍👧‍👦.This book is divided into chapters dealing with love, marriage, children, giving, eating & drinking, work, joy & sorrow, houses, clothes, buying & selling, crime & punishment, laws, freedom, reason & passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good & evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion and death 📖.This book is really inspirational, philosophical & spiritual. It teaches about different aspects of life in a different way. In a way that I've never thought about these conditions. This book gives all the answers of how life should be & how we can transform ourselves in a better version of ourself. This book doesn't preach. It doesn't lecture. It is really short & the concepts are to the point. The title completely goes with the book. The language is not too simple but it is neither too complex that cannot be understood. But it is very important to understand each & every word coz every word is important to understand the poem properly. Now to understand this book completely it is very important to read it slowly & thoroughly & by understanding each & every word.

One should definitely buy this text and that also from the same publisher. This Fingerprint publishing texts have become one of my favorite publishers. While other publications charge you for big pages and cover page cost, this publication have done it's best to provide the readers the best experience.Handy book with perfect presentation on the pages by the publishers. I would appreciate if the publishers take my review seriously and publish more upcoming and classic novels.

Just awesome book, but needs to be read again and again to get deep into the real meaning of the context. Absolutely beautiful phrases written by Khalil Gibran, specially on love. Recommended for all the poetic and literature lovers.

Gibran has some serious suggestions on how to be a free soul ! If you have any subject in life that worries you, you can look it up as a handbook and everything is in there topic wise ! Beautiful.

there are no pages at all! I opened it after my day job and find only the cover on it.....and it ask me to give a feedback! I understand it a little problem...only 99 cents....but its booring .
