(0)Kahlil Gibran
The poetry of Kahlil Gibran (1883 - 1931), a Lebanese-American writer, is the third best-selling in the world, after Shakespeare and Laozi. Much of his work deals with Christianity and spiritual love, and is popularly read at important events such as marriages. His work is considered a source of wisdom.
Readers who found meaning and beauty in Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet will appreciate this engaging volume of the author's poetry, aphorisms, thoughts, and observations. Published a few years before The Prophet, The Forerunner traces the trajectory of Gibran's development as an artist and thinker.
New from Duke Classics, Kahlil Gibran's Sand and Foam is a collection of philosophical thoughts, musings, and inspirational words that explore the meaning of life and the world around us. Although a quick read, Gibran's poetic words will encourage readers to slow down and reflect afterwards.

His first book written in English, 'The Madman', discusses freedom, spirituality, God and justice as taken from the viewpoint of a 'madman'. "I know faces, because I look through the fabric my own eye weaves, and behold the reality beneath."
