Poet, philosopher, and artist Kahlil Gibran is known and loved around the world for his spiritual poetry and mystical art, combined here are two of his most popular works:
The Prophet
A tale inspired largely by nature, The Prophet conveys the yearning for a unity of being that can only be achieved, according to the mystic tradition that Gibran followed, through love. Belonging to no single literary tradition, Gibran's inspiring book synthesizes the traditions of ancient times and modernity, East and West, and has been acclaimed by both Muslim and Christian cultures.
The Madman: His Parables and Poems
The Madman is probably Kahlil Gibrans second most well known work after The Prophet. It consists of short essays and poems shining an ironic light on the beliefs, aspirations, and vanities of humankind.
