Kahil Gibran is known throughout the world as the Immortal Prophet of Lebanon and the Savant of His Age. This new enlarged volume contains much of Gibran's magnificent poetry and various prose pieces which he wrote when scarcely twenty years old. Translated from the Arabic these timeless writings reveal his remarkably mature grasp of a subject which has challenged philosophers throughout history and this is man's destiny and the meaning of his existence. Included is The Bride;s Bed, a strange and gripping tale that is both a plea for individual liberty and an expression of his bitter condemnation of pre-arranged marriages of children by their parents.
