The sea that beckons all things unto her beckons me, and I must embark upon her vast waters. One of the most renowned and widely translated works of free-verse poetry ever penned in the English language, "The Prophet" by Lebanon-born Kahlil Gibran, unfolds the tale of the prophet Almustafa, who was exiled from his homeland and has spent the past twelve years as a refugee among the benevolent people of Orphalese. As he prepares to set sail on the ship that will return him to his homeland, Almustafa addresses a gathering of townspeople who have come to bid him farewell. In his parting words of wisdom about the human condition, Almustafa reveals himself to be a man who possesses a profound understanding of the depths of his peers' hearts, minds, and souls.
While maintaining fidelity to the original text, the script adaptation by A. David Lewis offers supplementary background details that enrich our understanding of the enigmatic main character. Moreover, the illustrations by Justin Rentería, inspired by a 1920s Ottoman style, are vibrant, authentic, and skillfully paced. Emerging precisely one hundred years after the original 1923 publication of Gibran's masterpiece and in a period when entire communities are compelled to seek refuge elsewhere, this fresh and visually captivating rendition of "The Prophet" conveys the original work's resolute and inspiring message about living a fulfilling life in the present world.
