In the book "The Prophet", the scene is set on the port town of Orphalese where Kahlil Gibran's protagonist Almustafa the chosen is about to depart for his hometown and gets mobbed by followers to give his last wise words to them.
In this book, it captures the arrival of Almustafa in his hometown and hot reception to his people whom he has been separated for 12 years. He continues administering his wise words upon his people and fellow mariners upon his garden where his mother and father are laid to rest.
The mode of conversation continues in the question answer format similar to The Prophet with expanded line of questions. In the end, his followers find Almustafa to be cryptic in his answers and abadon him for that sea that is boundless and formless. Almustafa resigns to his aloness and solitude consumes him.

Es un libro simplemente hermoso, lleno de reflexiones importantes a cada página. Es esa clase de libros en los que puedes encontrar respuestas cuando menos las esperas. Es un libro para un millón de lecturas, lleno de notas y de manchas de café.
Creo que hallé un nuevo favorito, sin duda lo hice.

It was an interesting read, sometimes it got to a point where it was repetitive, but I loved the musicality in it an how everything entertwined.
