Der Prophet Kindern erzählt

After years in exile, Almustafa – a prophet of wisdom – feels it is time to return to his homeland island. Before he sets sail, he confides something very special to the people with whom he stayed. He speaks to them in an unheard-of manner about the great themes of life: happiness and destiny, joy and sorrow, love and hate, past and present, freedom and knowledge, friendship and beauty. "The Prophet" was published in 1923 in New York and has since captivated people worldwide. Anna Peiretti has carefully retold selected chapters of the book in a way that makes its profound message understandable for children. In doing so, she manages to preserve the original power of the texts – a treasure chest, illustrated with a touch of magical charm by one of Italy's greatest illustrators. The book is being released in German to celebrate the 100th anniversary of "The Prophet." At last, countless adults can gift children the stories that have fascinated them so much (and read them again themselves).
