Elegant but inexpensive, this clothbound volume features an original selection of works by the immensely popular Lebanese-American author. It includes complete texts and drawings of The Madman and The Forerunner, plus 20 additional illustrations - many long out of print - and a perceptive essay by art historian Alice Raphael.
The Lebanese-American artist, poet, and author Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) combined beauty and spirituality in philosophy. His best-known work, The Prophet, achieved a lasting popularity in the 1960s as countercultural guide, and his writings remain a staple of wedding and graduation rituals.
