After twelve years in exile a ship has finally arrived that can take Almustafa home. As he''s about to board, a group of villagers ask him to share more of his wisdom as a last goodbye. In twenty eight poetic speeches he answers their quandaries. Of these speeches, the three opening ones (on love, marriage and children) are included in this first part of a graphic novel adaptation of Kahlil Gibran''s evergreen poetic essays on life and on living. To read Gibran''s text, rhythmic and vibrant with emotions, feels like listening to music rather than just consuming a series of words. A composition now arranged by Peter Hertzberg, with his illustrations as the instruments playing the music to which Gibran''s thoughts dance in to our souls. "The Prophet" was published in 1923 as an immediate success, but the story has its humble origins in Gibran''s own experiences of living as an immigrant in New York where he dedicated his life to writing and painting until he passed away at 1931. A modern classic, and probably the twentieth century''s most beloved spiritual fiction, "The Prophet" offers inspiration to everyone feeling unbalanced in a world out of balance. Peter Hertzberg is an illustrator and storyteller born in Finland and has since also lived in Sweden and Spain. He speaks four languages but only communicates well in images.

Though born a Maronite, Gibran was influenced not only by his own religion but also by the Bahá'í Faith, Islam, and the mysticism of the Sufis. His knowledge of Lebanon's bloody history, with its destructive factional struggles, strengthened his belief in the fundamental unity of religions, something which his parents exemplified by welcoming people of various religions in their home. Connections and parallels have also been made to William Blake's work, as well as the theological ideas of Walt Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson such as reincarnation and the Over-soul. Themes of influence in his work were Arabic art, European Classicism (particularly Leonardo da Vinci) and Romanticism (Blake and Auguste Rodin), the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and more modern symbolism and surrealism.Kahlil Gibran was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist, also considered a philosopher although he himself rejected the title. He is best known as the author of The Prophet, which was first published in the United States in 1923 and has since become one of the best-selling books of all time, having been translated into more than 100 languages.Born in a village of the Ottoman-ruled Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate to a Maronite family, the young Gibran immigrated with his mother and siblings to the United States in 1895. Gibran was sent back to his native land by his family at the age of fifteen to enroll at the Collège de la Sagesse in Beirut. Returning to Boston upon his youngest sister's death in 1902, he lost his older half-brother and his mother the following year, seemingly relying afterwards on his remaining sister's income from her work at a dressmaker's shop for some time.

Secondly, the words should acknowledge the centenary of the end of World War I, but look optimistically to the future. For the centenary I chose In the Underworld by World War I poet Isaac Rosenberg, written in 1914.
