The Storm: Stories And Prose Poems

0.0

Among the most popular works of world literature, the writings of Kahlil Gibran are treasured by millions for their depth of insight, passion and timeless spiritual vision. We are pleased to present a series of important new translations of the Arabic writings of Kahlil Gibran. Experts have long noted that Gibran's meaning has, in the past, frequently been obscured by inaccurate renderings that fail to convey the freshness and vitality of his style. The books in this series have been produced by recognised experts in the interpretation of texts in the Arabic language, who combine specialised knowledge of its literary and Philosophical heritage with a fluid, accessible, and contemporary English prose style. The Storm brings together fourteen short stories and prose poems from Gibran's Arabic writings, which exhibit several characteristic Gibran themes: the injustice perpetrated by society against the poor, the weak, and the sincere; nature and its destruction by man; and the purity and its perversion and destruction by society.
