The Prophet Pocket Complete Unabridged Original Edition by Gibran Khalil Gibran (جبران خليل جبران), usually referred to in English as Kahlil Gibran, is one of the best selling books of all time, a spiritual masterpiece written in prose poetry.

The Prophet follows the advice of Al Mustafa as he gives his insight on the intricacies of life and the human condition. His thoughts comprise those on love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, houses, 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.

This book was a big source of inspiration for many like Elvis Presley, who referred to it for the rest of his life after receiving his first copy as a gift from his girlfriend in 1956, or Johnny Cash, that can be heard talking about Gibran's work on his 2003 track "Book Review".
