Widely known in America as author of The Prophet, which sold more copies in the 20th century than any other book but the Bible, the great LebaneseAmerican poet and artist Kahlil Gibran (18831931) first became known to Americans in 1918 with the publication of The Madman.Thoughtprovoking and inspiring, the book is a collection of memorable, lifeaffirming parables and poems, many of them casting an ironic light on the beliefs, aspirations, and vanities of humankind and many reminiscent of the work of Tagore and Nietzsche, both of whom were strong influences on Gibran.Among the 35 poems and parables in this volume are 'How I Became a Madman,' 'The Two Hermits,' 'The Wise Dog,' 'The Good God and the Evil God,' 'Night and the Madman,' 'The Three Ants,' 'When My Sorrow Was Born,' 'And When My Joy Was Born,' and many more.The book includes several illustrations by the author, whose exquisite drawings are reminiscent of Rodin and the best of Blake. '. . . the greatest of Arab Romantics and father of a 20thcentury Romantic tradition whose impact on Arab writers has been at least as strong as that of 19thcentury figures such as Wordsworth and Keats on their Englishspeaking counterparts.' Dr. Suheil Bushrui, Director of the Kahlil Gibran Chair on Values and Peace, University of Maryland
