Gibran followed `The Prophet' with `Sand And Foam' in 1926 which also caught the imagination of people in the Sixties, most notably John Lennon who borrowed a couplet of Kahlil's for the Beatles' song `Julia' which featured on their legendary `White Album'. One of the last books Kahlil wrote was `Jesus, The Son Of Man' which took various characters from the Bible and imagined what their personal viewpoint of Jesus would have been and this book also won rave reviews in critical circles.
By 1928, the year `Jesus, The Son Of Man' was published; Kahlil's physical and mental health had begun to decline. A shoulder injury that he sustained whilst a child, and that progressively got worse over the years, became so painful that he turned to drink to dull the pain and subsequently became an alcoholic. He distracted himself from his various ailments and injuries by writing but it was not long before the excessive drinking got the better of him and he died of cirrhosis of the liver in 1931 and, as was his wish, was returned to Lebanon to be buried. Since his death his stature has only grown and `The Prophet', which was one of the best selling books in the US in the whole of the 20th century, is still popular now as are many of his other works.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - From the acclaimed author of The Prophet comes a unique and moving collection of poems and parables. Twenty-five in all, they bring forth teachings on morality, spirituality and compassion in a way that only Gibran is capable. Although each entry is short, they evoke thoughtful reflection for those aware of his deeper meanings. Sometimes it may seem there is no message to an entry, at least on the surface, but the reader is being challenged to reflect a bit, by a true master, Gibran, before the insights come. The book is short, but what the reader may create and experience as a result of its reading could fill volumes. The author, also an artist, has included five black and white illustrations to accompany his work. 76 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9781585092864
