This French edition gathers selections from Kahlil Gibran's _The Prophet_, centered on the meditative figure of the passer-by in Orphalese. Through spare, aphoristic prose-poetry, the work explores enduring human questions: love, work, joy, sorrow, freedom, and the ties that bind people to one another. Presented as a concise volume of excerpts, _Le Passant d'Orphalèse_ offers a focused introduction to Gibran's spiritual and philosophical vision. Its reflective tone and lyrical style make it suitable for readers seeking brief passages for contemplation, as well as those already familiar with _The Prophet_ and interested in revisiting its central themes in French.
