The Madman, His Parables And Poems (1918)

The Madman, His Parables And Poems is a collection of writings by Kahlil Gibran, first published in 1918. The book is divided into two sections: parables and poems. The parables are short stories that offer moral lessons about life, love, and spirituality. They are written in a simple, yet profound style that is characteristic of Gibran's work. The poems, on the other hand, are more lyrical and expressive, exploring themes such as beauty, nature, and the human experience. The title of the book refers to the madman, a central figure in several of the parables. The madman is a symbol of the outsider, the one who sees the world differently and challenges conventional wisdom. Through his stories, Gibran encourages readers to question their own assumptions and beliefs, and to find their own path in life. Overall, The Madman, His Parables And Poems is a timeless work of literature that continues to inspire readers with its wisdom and beauty. Gibran's prose and poetry are both accessible and profound, offering insights into the human condition that are as relevant today as they were a century ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
