Description
Kahlil Gibran and May Ziadah knew one another solely from the letters they exchanged and from a deep admiration for each other's work. Yet their correspondence endured a lifetime, as did their love. This collection of letters, the first ever to appear in English, reveals the eloquence and beauty of Gibran's writing in a form and style that is both profoundly personal and emotionally evocative. Illustrated throughout with Gibran's ink sketches and fascinating photographs of his original letters, this exquisite gift edition presents a moving insight into the writer behind The Prophet, the bestselling book of the twentieth century.
