Produktbeschreibung

A clarion call for freedom from one of the twentieth century's most important philosophers and writers, Kahlil Gibran A book so powerful it was burned in the marketplace of Beirut at the time of its publication, Kahlil Gibran's Spirits Rebellious is a clarion call for freedom in his homeland of Lebanon-for individuals and society. Gibran's bitter denunciation of religious and political injustice flows through his lyric pen in three parables, that of "Madame Rose Hanie," "The Cry of the Graves," and "Kahlil the Heretic." His vision of liberty is no less powerful today.

Autorenporträt

Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) was an essayist, novelist, and mystic poet. He wrote The Prophet, a collection of philosophical essays that went on to become one of the bestselling books of the twentieth century. Though he was born in Lebanon, he moved to Boston's South End as a child and studied art with Auguste Rodin in Paris for two years before launching his literary career. Much of Gibran's work contains themes of religion and Christianity as well as spiritual love.
