OverviewGibran Khalil Gibran (1883 - 1931) was a Lebanese-American poet, writer, and artist best known as the author of The Prophet (1923), which is one of the best-selling books of all time. Gibran's work covers such themes as justice, religion, science, free will, love, happiness, the soul, the body, and death. He is widely considered to have been one of the most important figures in Arabic poetry and literature during the first half of the twentieth century. First published three years before The Prophet in 1920, The Forerunner is a collection of 24 tales that contain much that is present in his masterpiece and for which he is famous: beautiful prose writing full of wisdom, insight, and deep humanity. Contents include: God's Fool , Love , The King-Hermit , The Lion's Daughter , Tyranny , The Saint , The Plutocrat , The Greater Self , War and the Small Nations , Critics , Poets , The Weather-cock , The King of Aradus , Out of My Deeper Heart , etc. Other notable works by this author include: Music (1905), Rebellious Spirits (1908), and Broken Wings (1912). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
