Every book is an invitation to a journey. Not all journeys are worth the time, though.

Орхан Памук – известный турецкий писатель, обладатель многочисленных национальных и международных премий, в числе которых Нобелевская премия по литературе за «поиск души своего меланхолического города». Душа города всегда обретается в его прошлом, возможно, поэтому талант Памука так блестяще проявляется в исторических романах, таких как «Имя мне – Красный» и «Белая крепость». Сюжет «Белой крепости», действие которого происходит в 17 веке, одновременно прост и загадочен, подобно древней арабской миниатюре: главный герой, молодой итальянец, попадает в плен к туркам, где становится рабом странного человека, одержимого познанием вселенной.

Twelve years - that's how long the prophet Almustafa has been waiting for the ship that is to take him back home. The people of the City of Orphalese ask him to tell them about his insights regarding human life: work, love, death, for example. In the ensuing 26 speeches, he does just that. Ever since its first publication in 1923, millions of copies of "The Prophet" were sold, making it one of the best sellers in spiritual literature.

The poems in this small volume are often short, humorous, and reckless, like many of the poems by this author in Persian. Like this one: Who knows? / Maybe we have someone like Gandhi, / But he has not yet returned from Africa. It is not possible to comment definitively on the genre or atmosphere of the poems, but most of them wander between romantic-erotic and sociopolitical. A recent category without indigenous signs is heavily influenced by the historical confidence of the totalitarian and repressive rulers of Iran.

One’s initial impression might be a kindly, generous, encouraging, positive, wise spiritual leader offering guidance to those looking for a bit of light in the world around us. But then, to our surprise, we realize that the map he provides us in these poems takes us deep inside God, Islam, and the love of God, where we need to go. He has not only done so, but in a language that is accessible to even children.

Esta obra es muy corta, centrando el argumento en multitud de historias, anécdotas, parábolas y reflexiones de tipo espiritual contadas desde la perspectiva de un hombre que se considera loco a sí mismo. Consta de una introducción hecha por él mismo y 34 capítulos también muy pequeños.

Ocho años antes de su muerte un profeta abandona el pueblo donde ha vivido y antes de irse la gente le pide que hable de ciertos temas, cada uno de los cuales forma un capítulo del libro. Para Gibrán los obstáculos y vicisitudes del mundo son solo pruebas que permiten al hombre evolucionar y avanzar por el camino hacia la purificación, así nos demuestra que el mundo será mejor cuando los hombres sean capaces de acercarse y convivir.
