Description

Gibran Khalil Gibran (1883 - 1931) was a Lebanese-American poet, writer, and artist best known as the author of "The Prophet" (1923), which is one of the best-selling books of all time.

Gibran's work covers such themes as justice, religion, science, free will, love, happiness, the soul, the body, and death.

He is widely considered to have been one of the most important figures in Arabic poetry and literature during the first half of the twentieth century. Originally published in 1918, "The Madman" is a thought-provoking collection of aphoristic parables and poetry that explores the desires and motivations of humankind.

Contents include: "How I Became a Madman," "The Two Hermits," "The Wise Dog," "The Good God and the Evil God," "Night and the Madman," "The Three Ants," "When My Sorrow Was Born," "And When My Joy Was Born," etc.

Other notable works by this author include: "Music" (1905), "Rebellious Spirits" (1908), and "Broken Wings" (1912).

This volume is highly recommended for fans Gibran's seminal work and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection.

Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
