Una de las obras maestras de la literatura universal es El Profeta. En la voz de Almustafá, el profeta, se encierra la esencia última del pensamiento poético de Jalil Gibrán, poeta libanés emigrado a Estados Unidos y perseguidor errante de la verdad y la bellza, en cuya personalidad se da prodigiosa sÃntesis de un Oriente y Occidente fertilizados por la sensibilidad de un autor subyugante. Cada relectura arrojará un nueva valor, cada imagen evocada adquirirá un nuevo perfil. Siempre hay algo nuevo y sorprendente en las densas y breves páginas en las que se concentra todo el verbo creador del poeta libanés. Es por esta razó por lo que El Profeta fue desde un primer momento un clásico predestinado a la inmortalidad.

Kahlil Gibran was born in 1883 in Lebanon and died in New York in 1931. His family emigrated to the United States in 1895. In his early teens, the artistry of Gibran's drawings caught the eye of his teachers and he was introduced to the avant-garde Boston artist, photographer, and publisher Fred Holland Day, who encouraged and supported Gibran in his creative endeavors. A publisher used some of Gibran's drawings for book covers in 1898, and Gibran held his first art exhibition in 1904 in Boston. In 1908, Gibran went to study art with Auguste Rodin in Paris for two years, and he later studied art in Boston. While most of Gibran's early writing was in Arabic, most of his work published after 1918 was in English. Gibran's best-known work is The Prophet, a book composed of 28 poetic essays.
La obra maestra de Kahlil Gibran es uno de los mas queridos clasicos de nuestra epoca, un repositorio rico en sabiduria y alegria que ha inspirado a generaciones de lectores. Con poesia frugal y bellamente resonante, El profeta ofrece inolvidables palabras de esperanza y consolaciin sobre los temas del nacimiento, del amor, del matrimonio, de la muerte y de los otros hitos de la vida.
Desde su publicaciin hace mas de setenta anos, El profeta ha sido traducido a mas de veinte idiomas y ha dado inspiraciin a millones de lectores, quienes encuentran en sus palabras la expresiin de los mas profundos impulsos, la mas profunda poesia, del corazin humano. Ilustrados con los dibujos misticos de Gibran--comparados por Auguste Rodin a los de William Blake--El profeta es un volumen para disfrutar y al cual volver a lo largo de la vida.
