Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics Series edited by Tom
Butler-Bowdon, this collectible, hard-back edition of The Prophet
provides an accessible and insightful introduction to this timeless
spiritual work The Prophet is an inspirational book of 26 poetry
fables written in English by Lebanese-American poet and writer
Kahlil Gibran. One of the most translated books in history,
Gibran's famous work has been translated into over 100 different
languages since its first publication in 1923. The book provides
timeless spiritual wisdom on universally-shared aspects of life,
such as giving, buying and selling, beauty and friendship, eating
and drinking, crime and punishment and spirituality and religion.
The book follows Almustafa, a man who has waited for twelve years
for a ship to take him from the island of Orphalese back to his
home. He has come to know the people on the island, who consider
him a wise and insightful man. On the day Almustafa's ship finally
arrives, he feels a deep sadness. The local elders ask him not to
leave. Almustafa speaks of his philosophy of life and the truths he
has discovered to the gathered crowd. His words have an almost
magical quality to them. As he prepares to board his ship, it
becomes clear that Almustafa's words do not refer to his journey
home, but rather to the world he came from before he was born. The
Prophet is a metaphor for the mystery of life and an exploration of
the human condition. Inspirational and extremely readable for
modern audiences, this classic text teaches us: We should be glad
of the experience of coming into the world The separation you feel
from other people is not real True marriage gives both people space
to develop their individuality Enjoying your work is expressing
your love for whoever benefits from it Sorrow makes space for more
joy in another season of life Featuring an insightful introduction
from the editor, The Prophet: The Spirituality Classic is a
must-read book for anyone interested in exploring the undeniable
truths of life we all share.
"Our Story" is a collection of simple and entertaining anecdotes,
accompanied by a look at historical personalities. The discussion

Originally published in 1759, this early work by French philosopher
Voltaire is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition.
It is a satirical novella about a young man losing his optimism
under the pressures and hardships of the world. This seminal work
is highly recommended and a must have for all readers of
philosophy. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
