Collected Works Of Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran wrote short, aphoristic prose about love, work, freedom and grief that has travelled far beyond its Lebanese and Arabic-American origins. This collected volume brings his poetry, essays and prose pieces together, The Prophet among them. The writing is arranged in brief sections rather than long argument, which makes the book easy to open anywhere and read a page at a time. Gibran's themes return repeatedly to the same questions about giving, solitude and self-knowledge, and that repetition is part of the effect. The deluxe binding suits a volume many readers keep within reach. Handy details: • Gathers Gibran's best known prose and poetry, including The Prophet • Short passages that read well in single sittings • Recurring subjects of love, freedom, work and the inner life • Bound as a deluxe edition for long-term use A good match for readers of poetry and reflective prose, gift buyers and collectors, available in English from Boipoka.
