The prophet is primarily a collection of thoughts. He immediately evoked the manual of Epictetus, a masterpiece of stoicism. Here it is in a very philosophy of modern life. Between Epicureanism and stoicism Gibran reveals above all what wisdom. A small book that reads in 1 hour but we carefully guard at his side. For those that repels philosophy it is very accessible and very quickly we s penetrating words of the prophet. A very good book to read.
An excerpt to finish (of friendship):
"When you part from your friend you do not suffer. For what you love most in him may appear you more distinct in its absence, same as for the climber, the mountain is more distinct view of the plain "
