Med sitt hovedverk Profeten er Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) en av verdenshistoriens mestselgende forfattere. Hans dype livsvisdom uttrykker noe felles i de religiøse tradisjonene fra Midtøsten: jødedom, kristendom, islam og baha'i. Gibrans tekster fikk en renessanse i den vestlige motkulturen på 60-tallet. John Lennons kjente utsagn - "Halvparten av det jeg sier er meningsløst" - er rett og slett et Gibran-sitat. I dagens multireligiøse virkelighet har Gibran fått ny aktualitet. For første gang på norsk kommer et praktverk med et utvalg fra alle Gibrans bøker. Den rikt illustrerte boken blir også et møte med billedkunstneren Kahlil Gibran. Hans liv, tekster og kunst blir grundig kommentert av Gibran-ekspert og tidligere Harvard-professor Ayman A El-Desouky. For denne utgivelsen er Gibrans tekster gjendiktet av Håvard Rem, som i sitt arbeid har reist i Gibrans hjemtrakter i Libanon.
