The Madman (Educational) – Kahlil Gibran

The Madman (Educational) – Kahlil Gibran (bestseller) | The great Lebanese-American poet and artist Kahlil Gibran (1883?1931) first became known to Americans in 1918 with the publication of the madman.Thought-provoking and inspiring, the book 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 ? and many reminiscent of the work of Tagore and Nietzsche, both of whom were strong influences on Gibran.
