This is a visually compelling graphic novel adaptation of Kahlil Gibran's timeless masterpiece, originally published in 1923. It tells the story of the prophet Almustafa, an exile preparing to return home after twelve years, who imparts his profound wisdom to the townspeople on topics like love, marriage, children, and death. The adaptation is faithful to the original text but incorporates a new backstory via wordless flashbacks, providing greater insight into the enigmatic main character. The illustrations are inspired by a 1920s Ottoman style. (119 words)
