Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper in the year of publication, "For Roy and D. from Howard and Bill With the blessing upon you four, and with the gratitude of Kahlil Gibran 1928." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Rare and desirable inscribed and in the original dust jacket. One of Gibran's most well-loved works over 70 years after its original publication, Jesus the Son of Man is a striking fictional portrait of Christ as seen through the eyes of his contemporaries. Depicting a variety of famous figures, from Mary Magdalen to Pontius Pilate, Gibran's spellbinding collection of narratives combines historical authority with the supreme eloquence that his admirers hold so dear. Fully conscious of the social, political, and religious realities of Palestine and Rome at the time, and at home with the local traditions and language, Gibran effortlessly evokes the spellbinding power of Christ's presence upon his associates. Presented in an attractive gift format and accompanied by Gibran's original artwork, this new edition allows Gibran's inspirational account of Christ to be read once more. Seller Inventory # 89433

About this Item: Alfred A Knopf, New York, 1928. Black Cloth w Gilt graphics. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair (Brodarted). First Thus. Black cloth boards with title and author's name in gilted gold. Both binding and text block are rock solid, tight, clean, and unmarked, AAA all the way, save for moderate rubs to spine ends and dust-darkening to top of text block. The jacket has done its job well in protecting the book, but in the process has suffered some extensive edge chipping and one thumb-sized chip to bottom of front cover panel. Not to bad though as offered in mylar Brodart, easily removeable if you so desire. Enough said of offerings which speak loudly for themselves. Acquire, enjoy, and share what the self-actualized author has discovered in his extensive intellectual travels to prepare this very informative writing for public edification. Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item of 216 ethereal pages. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a permanent character lacking in transitory electronic renderings. Size: 8vo - (Standard Book Size). Hard Cover. Seller Inventory # 012737
