Selected Works Of Kahlil Gibran

This omnibus brings you some of the best-loved writings of Kahlil Gibran, the twentieth-century mystic and artist of Lebanese origin. The selection features four of his English translations from their Arabic originals: Nymphs of the Valley (1906), Spirits Rebellious (1908), The Broken Wings (1912) and Tears and Laughter (1918). Besides The Prophet (1923), the most celebrated of all his writings, the book features the other four works that Gibran wrote in English: The Madman (1918), The Forerunner (1920), Sand and Foam (1926) and Jesus, the Son of Man (1928). Also included here is The Wanderer (1932), the last and posthumously published work of a man but with a cloak and a staff with a veil of pain upon his face. This volume also contains some selections of Gibran's shorter writings and essays, which are as timeless in their essence and persuasive in their immediacy as are his spiritual musings
