Ocho años antes de su muerte un profeta abandona el pueblo donde ha vivido y antes de irse la gente le pide que hable de ciertos temas, cada uno de los cuales forma un capítulo del libro. Estos temas son: el amor, el matrimonio, los hijos, el dar, el comer y el beber, el trabajo, la alegría y el dolor, las casas, el vestir, el comprar y el vender, el crimen y el castigo, las leyes, la libertad, la razón y la pasión, el dolor, el conocimiento, el enseñar, la amistad, el hablar, el tiempo, lo bueno y lo malo, la oración, el placer, la belleza, la religión, y la muerte.

Por ejemplo, respecto a la alegría y el dolor dice: "Cuando estéis tristes, (...) veréis que estáis llorando, en verdad, por lo que fue vuestro deleite".

A pesar de que la obra está escrita a modo de diálogo simple entre el profeta y la gente del pueblo, las directivas que Gibrán pone en su boca invitan a reconsiderar los valores, conceptos, hábitos y costumbres de la sociedad, llevando al lector hacia una idea menos individualista y con un gran sentido de empatía con los seres vivientes, así como la mayor relevancia de un estrato espiritual subyacente a todas las acciones humanas.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The Prophet has long been a favorite among readers of poetry and philosophy. His literary combination of western and eastern ideals makes for the best reading that will long be remembered and repeated by all who come into contact with it.

About the Author

Khalil Gibran was a writer, poet, and artist. He was one of the most outstanding personalities of the Middle East during the 20th century, and one of the strongest cultural bridges between his homeland and the West. He wrote much of his work in English, which allowed the western public to rediscover the Arab world.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kahlil Gibran: full Arabic name Gibran Khalil Gibran, (January 6, 1883 – April 10, 1931) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer of the New York Pen League.

Kahlil Gibran was born in the town of Bsharri in the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire (north of modern-day Lebanon), to Khalil Gibran and Kamila Gibran(Rahmeh). As a young man Kahlil emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.

He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again, especially in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi.

Amazing book! Full of insight about humanity. Absolutely love this book, it surprises me that even though this bk was written in 1923 everything in it is still pertinent today! Lots of great reflections & philosophy!

Maravilloso libro! Aunque fue escrito en el año 1923 todo las reflexiones y filosofías están actualizadas a este mundo de ahora. ¡Les confieso que es mi libro favorito desde el año 1984 hasta hoy!

El profeta es uno de esos libros que marcaran tu modalismo y forma de ver la vida. En su paginas encontraras sabiduria y consejos para esta vida agitada y comercial que vivimos. Es recomendable leer por segunda o tercera vez pues su profundidad y riqueza de palabras necesitan una mente abierta y gran capacidad del dominio del lenguaje figurado.
