Kahlil Gibran 
The Prophet [EPUB ebook] 

One of the most profound and philosophical reads of all times, The Prophet puts the questions of the people about life to rest, by way of narrative from the mouth of the man called Almustafa. He has been staying at Orphalese for 12 twelve years awaiting the return to his land as he waited for the ship. But he and the people of Orphalese have grown so fond of each other that they request him not to leave. Almustafa remains firm on his decision but, he answers all the questions of the people that they have about life and that is what the book is all about.
