About This Novel
"The Prophet" has always been regarded as the pinnacle work of Gibran's life. Since its publication, it has been praised endlessly. It has been hailed as a "little Bible" and "the best gift from the East to the West". Gibran became famous because of this book and was recognized and paid attention to by the world. This book includes "The Prophet", "The Garden of the Prophet", "The Forerunner" and many other collections of prose poems, discussing issues such as love, marriage, giving, joys and sorrows, freedom, time, good and evil, beauty, death and other issues of the origin of the world.

Many loves fail in possessing each other
Love neither possesses nor is possessed. Love is satisfied in love.
If you compare this version with the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. The translation of this version is really different. The translator's foreign language proficiency is very good, but his literary accomplishment is not high.
Purify the mind
The prophet is like a clear stream, flowing quietly in my heart. Although it is silent, it is unforgettable.
The prophet is Gibran's wisdom, and the sand and foam are his soul
I was especially impressed by the book's views on love, which are thought-provoking.
