Gibran, Kahlil / Sheban, Joseph (ed. and transl.). — The Wisdom of Gibran: Aphorisms and Maxims.
New York Philosophical Library 1966 Bound, board with original dustjacket, 111pp., 14x20,5cm., in fair condition (dustjacket with traces of use, a bit damaged and soiled, book itself in good condition). An early twentieth-century Lebanese-American writer, Khalil Gibran instilled his poetry and art with his experiences in both the East and West. This selection of quotes, maxims, and aphorisms is drawn from such poems as ?Secrets of the Heart,? ?Spirits Rebellious,? and ?Broken Wings,? as well as from his autobiography and essays. Gibran?s words express a strong spirituality and mysticism and his voice offers a direct and at times optimistic view of the brotherhood of man. Addressing everything from love and death to Jesus, motherhood, and nature, Gibran?s wisdom remains thought provoking and inspirational.
