It remains popular today, providing insight and spiritual significance to ordinary human experiences. Gibran poetically addresses topics such as "Love" and "Marriage" as well as more mundane ones like "Work" and "Talking." Gibran's "spiritual fiction" does not shy away from deeper aspects of human life, either. Almustafa, the prophet, speaks also about "Good and Evil", "Joy and Sorrow", and even "Death." This compact soft cover edition contains the original illustrations, made by Gibran himself. Review: Soothing, quieting, loving - The book answers big questions of life in a beautiful, poetic, almost biblical language. It gives reassurance where there was doubt. There are echoes of Jesus speaking to the disciples before Ascension with a vague promise of return, possibly through reincarnation (through another woman.) The departure on a ship, a metaphor for final parting of death, brought me to tears. He speaks of wholeness of the experience of joy and sorrow and pain - they are one and the same spirit, like the object and its shadow. Review: Frugal Prophecy - I am in love with the no-fuss, self published books that are sold on desertcart. I feel like they are the best to highlight and are the best if you like to write, sticky note, and underline like I do. I ain't got the time (or the budget) for a fancy binding because it's a short book and I need good quotes when I'm in the mood. It's a good book to give to a friend that's having a dark night of the soul or just likes the metaphysical vein of things ( and any Pisces that you might know, because we will drink this up in a second). Wisdom is the name of the game here and when you're looking for a little insight on the topics presented here, it's nice to have a no-frills copy that will stand up to annotation. If you're a typeface snob, skip this and go to something at a higher price-point. But if you're like me and have been reading this book online but enjoy the tactile experience of reading and annotating, this will get the job done. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,462,033 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #396 in Middle Eastern Poetry (Books) #2,023 in Religious Poetry (Books) #3,034 in Religious Philosophy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,408 Reviews | ## Images ![The Prophet: With Original 1923 Illustrations by the Author - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lTwWY5Z-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soothing, quieting, loving *by J***I on August 22, 2021* The book answers big questions of life in a beautiful, poetic, almost biblical language.

After sharing Her dad's and my wedding reading from it, she was overwhelmed with joy. I was so happy to see Amazon had the copies. Now my daughter has purchased more to share with her friends. This book gives inspirational advise and comfort during the current most difficult times. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Prophet: With Original 1923 Illustrations by the Author - Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood - Scheherazade Goes West: Different Cultures, Different Harems --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/157570231-the-prophet-with-original-1923-illustrations-by-the-author](https://www.desertcart.in/products/157570231-the-prophet-with-original-1923-illustrations-by-the-author) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
