A collection of parables and short philosophical tales by Kahlil Gibran. Published in 1932, the book presents a series of brief stories that explore human nature, wisdom, love, pride, faith, freedom, compassion, and the search for truth.

Written in Gibran's distinctive poetic and spiritual style, each parable offers a simple narrative carrying deeper philosophical and moral meanings. Like his more famous works, the book encourages reflection on life and the human condition.
