Almustafa is about to return home after spending twelve years in Orfalese. However, before taking the boat that will take him to his city, he entertains himself with a group of people with discussions on various aspects of the human condition. Divided into twenty-six short poetic essays, The Prophet shows thoughts of Almustaf about such disparate subjects as love, work, joy, God, friendship, crime and beauty. A humane treatise, transcendental and poetic, which became a classic of the literature of the twentieth century and had continued with The Garden of the Prophet, when Almustaf reaches its home island and met with ten of his disciples,-among them the beautiful Karina- then head for heights and, once there, let himself carried away by the haze.
