The madmanPaperback, 29 September 2021

Widely known as the author of The Prophet, which sold more copies in the 20th century than any other book but the Bible, the great Lebanese-American poet and artist Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) published his The Madman in 1918. Thought-provoking and inspiring, it is a collection of memorable, life-affirming parables and poems, many of them casting an ironic light on the beliefs, aspirations, and vanities of humankind.
