The Madman: His Parables and Poems

The book explores themes of madness, love, spirituality, and the human condition. The essays are presented as the musings of a madman who wanders the streets and countrysides, speaking in riddles and offering cryptic insights into life and the nature of existence. Through the character of the madman, Gibran explores the idea that true wisdom and understanding can only be gained by stepping outside of societal norms and expectations, and by embracing the irrational and the seemingly incomprehensible. Overall, 'The Madman' is a profound and moving work that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and assumptions about the world, and to embrace the madness and uncertainty that lies at the heart of the human experience.

The Prophet

I go with the wind, people of Orphalese, but not down into emptiness; And if this day is not a fulfilment of your needs and my love, then let it be a promise till another day.” The beloved prophet Almustafa (meaning “The Chosen One”) has lived within the city walls of Orphalese for twelve years. He has walked among the people and formed a deep connection to the place, but he knows this is not where he ultimately belongs. On the seventh day of Ielool (“the month of reaping”), Almustafa climbs a hill beyond the boundaries of the city wall and gazes out across the misty sea. He is filled with joy as he catches sight of the ship that has come to free him from exile. As he bids farewell to the people of Orphalese, Almustafa speaks with them on the topics closest to their hearts. His series of sermons form the 28 prose poems of this book. The Prophet is a work of fiction, written by Lebanese-American artist, poet, and philosopher Kahlil Gibran. Gibran was a key figure in Arabic literary modernist movement, which spanned the first half of the twentieth century. As a product of his culturally-rich upbringing, Gibran’s work beautifully blends religious traditions and philosophies from around the world.

Classic Love - Short Stories

Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. The Classic Love story is one that we all love to hear. But by classic do we mean the same story just retold again and again? In this volume our authors definitely take that on board but their narratives also bring different views, different understandings, greater depth, an emotional palette of hues and tints that fully colour this thing that we call love.1 - Classic Love - Short Stories - An Introduction2 - The Kiss by Anton Chekhov3 - A Modern Lover - Pt 1 by D H Lawrence4 - A Modern Lover - Pt 2 by D H Lawrence5 - The Gift of the Magi by O Henry6 - The Nightingale and the Rose by Oscar Wilde7 - Love by Guy de Maupassant8 - The Blizzard by Alexander Pushkin9 - Bliss by Katherine Mansfield10 - On the Gull's Road by Willa Cather11 - Madame Rose Hanie by Khalil Gibran12 - About Love by Anton Chekhov13 - Mrs Pierrepoint by Amy Levy14 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev15 - Speed by Sinclair Lewis16 - The New Paris by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe17 - The Dance by Zona Gale18 - Those Who Wait by Ethel Dell19 - The Golden Honeymoon by Ring Lardner20 - A Haunted House by Virginia Woolf21 - The Fullness of Life by Edith Wharton22 - The Kiss by Kate Chopin23 - Mr and Mrs Dove by Katherine Mansfield24 - The Other Woman by Sherwood Anderson25 - The Grave by Guy de Maupassant26 - The Muse's Tragedy by Edith Wharton27 - The Lady with the Dog by Anton Chekhov
