    One of the best known and most translated works of free-verse poetry ever published in the English language, The Prophet, by Lebanon-born Kahlil Gibran, tells the story of the prophet Almustafa, who was banished from his homeland and who has lived the last twelve years of his life as a refugee among the good people of Orphalese. One day, as he prepares to board the ship that will take him home, Almustafa addresses a gathering of townspeople who have come to see him off. His parting words of wisdom about the human condition reveal him to be a man who sees deeply into the hearts, minds, and souls of his peers.While remaining faithful to the original text, the script adaptation by A. David Lewis provides backstory details that provide greater insight into the enigmatic main character. And the illustrations by Justin Rentería, inspired by a 1920s Ottoman style, are vibrant, authentic, and skillfully paced. Appearing exactly one hundred years after the original 1923 publication of Gibran’s masterpiece, and at a time when entire groups of people are being forced to seek refuge elsewhere, this fresh and visually compelling rendering of The Prophet conveys the original work’s bracing and inspirational message about what it means to live well in today’s world

    The concept of family farming has been disseminated since the 1990s throughout the world, including in Latin American countries and Brazil. Numerous official documents and academic papers make reference to the concept throughout the region. However, the use of related conceptual terminologies persists, such as, for example, peasant agriculture, or small-scale agriculture, among others. This article aims to analyze the existence and differences of this concept in Latin American and Caribbean countries. For the concept to be used within the scope of state action, it is necessary, that it is defined, unequivocally, in the form of law. As observed in this paper, this institutionalization is more evident in South American countries, less evident in Central America and practically absent in the Caribbean. At present, the authors weren't able to identify any form of consensus regarding the concept of family farming, and its legal acceptance, in the region. For the time being, Brazilian pioneering is evident in defining the concept and its applicability in public policies specifically aimed at family farmers.
