Prorok – Džibrán Chalíl (2022)

In The Prophet, Khalil Gibran offers a map for the journey of life. Thanks to him, we can now, without unnecessary wandering, grasp what we would otherwise learn much later – or perhaps not at all. Can you imagine how much better your life awaits? The inspiration from The Prophet changes depending on which phase of life we read it in. And it reads so easily! It is not just a poem, but a poetic message of wisdom and love. Gibran is a magician! He captures every aspect of life magnificently and yet with few words, as if he scooped an entire sea into a cup: love, passion, marriage, pain and joy, good and evil, faith, time, life itself, and death… For a hundred years, millions of people have been inspired by this magical book in translations into over a hundred languages. After all, Gibran is the third most read poet in the world, after Shakespeare and the Chinese master Laozi. Why? Because he wrote one of the most important books, the book of life… It can be read anytime, even on a train. And it is illustrated with Gibran's paintings, which speak to souls and hearts so gently and kindly.
