The Treasured Writings of Kahlil Gibran

1947

The Treasured Writings of Kahlil Gibran represents the most comprehensive volume of works of the Lebanese poet and philosopher ever published. This enriching collection of stories, prose poems, verse, parables and autobiographical essays comprising the major body of Kahlil Gibran's works have been carefully translated and edited by a noted trio of Gibran scholars... Martin L. Wolf, Anthony R. Ferris and Andrew Dib Sherfan. Each of the ten books included in this beautifully bound collectors' volume has been hailed by critics as literary masterpieces. The works in this collection clearly demonstrate why critics regard Kahlil Gibran as eminently among the world's great writers. His writings reflect the wistful beauty, fierce anger, lofty majesty and the abiding peace that Eastern wisdom achieves in its contemplation. Often revered as the Dante of the twentieth century, the immortal savant of Lebanon, Kahlil Gibran created verses and lyric prose which impart to the reader a grand symphony of sparkling joys. These qualities have made Kahlil Gibran master of the written word.

Second Treasury of Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran, author of "The Prophet", is known throughout the world as the immortal Prophet of Lebanon and the Savant of his Age. "A Treasury of Kahlil Gibran", which sold over a hundred thousand copies, led to a wide demand for a sequel volume. The demand has been met in "A Second Treasury of Kahlil Gibran". In this magnificent volume Gibran's writing in his beloved mother tongue, Arabic, have been translated superbly into Englis by his great friend, Anthony Rizeallah Ferris. Included are four great "The Broken Wings", an exquisitely tender, poetic love story; "The Voice of the Master", Gibran's remarkable study of his life; "Thoughts and Meditations", containing Gibran's spiritual message to the world; and "Kahlil A Self Portrait", in which Gibran's greatness is revealed through his letters.

A Third Treasury of Kahlil Gibran

1974

"Gibran's exquisite poetry and incisive commentaries are among the hummingbirds of literature. There are artful ponderings on the meaning of life and exploration of delicate personal situations. Master of mood and situation, Gibran plumbs the depths of both".—"Dallas Times-Herald". Lightning Print on Demand Title

Kahlil Gibran (Arabic: جبران خليل جبران ) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer. Born in the town of Bsharri in modern-day Lebanon (then part of Ottoman Mount Lebanon), as a young man he emigrated with his family to the United States where he studied art and began his literary career. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero. He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again, especially in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu.
