The Prophet
Essential Pocket Classics
Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet is a timeless classic, a guiding light of spiritual fiction that has shaped the hearts and souls of readers since it was first published in 1923. Translated into more than 40 languages around the globe, The Prophet is an inspirational work of art, a thought-provoking glimpse into the human heart, and transformational spiritual journey.
The book begins when a prophet named Almustafa shares his wisdom over the course of eight essays. In these brief, poetic pieces he touches on the deepest profundities of life — pain and loss, friendship and love, joy and sorrow.
This new, pocket-sized version of the classic work is true to the text of the first edition and features Gibran's original illustrations, bringing his writing to a new generation of readers.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
