Before leaving the city where he has lived for twelve years, the prophet Almustafa is asked to speak, and the people bring him their subjects one by one: love, marriage, children, work, joy and sorrow, freedom, death.
His answers have been read at weddings, funerals and graduations for a hundred years, quoted more often than almost any modern book. The Prophet is brief enough to finish in an evening and deep enough to keep on a bedside table for life. A gift book in the truest sense.
