The Madman

From the author of the timeless masterpiece The Prophet comes this sterling collection of short fables and reflections. Written from the point of view of the "madman", an individual seemingly at odds with the world and his place within it, Gibran explores themes of human kindness, alienation and the search for ultimate truth. This brief series is a great way to introduce yourself to Gibran's themes and the perfect primer for his later masterwork.
