The Essential Kahlil Gibran

Millions of readers around the world have been inspired by the wisdom of Kahlil Gibran, Lebanese essayist, novelist, and poet. The Essential Kahlil Gibran is the perfect introduction to his passionately religious and often mystical outlook-a collection of quotations from such poems as "Secrets of the Heart," "Spirits Rebellious," and "Brown Wings," as well as excerpts from his autobiography and various essays, compiled by a longtime student of Gibran's work. Arranged alphabetically by topic, Gibran's words-exploring love, work, death, and every subject in between-illuminate the entire human experience.
