The Storm
First Published In: 1993.
This work contains 14 short stories and poems, that express many of Gibran's key themes: the
injustice meted out to the poor and the weak; the beauties of nature needlessly destroyed by man;

The Forerunner
First Published In: 1920.
The wisdom, poetic outlook, and deep humanity for which The Prophet is famous are also amply present
in The Forerunner, published just three years earlier. Compassionate and insightful, it is a less unified
but equally memorable collection of 24 poems and parables dealing with love, death, tyranny, vanity, and
the holiness and foolishness of humankind. Translated into many languages and acclaimed internationally by
critics, The Forerunner is sure to provide inspiration and reading pleasure to a wide audience.

Visions Of The Prophet
First Published In: 1997.
Drawn from his published works in Arabic, Visions Of The Prophet will introduce to a new generation this
Lebanese poet and pilgrim who lit the hearts of so many romantics for the last six decades. Gibran looks the
harshness of life straight in the eye and summons us to develop a soul -- an inner life -- to set our moral
compasses by. A companion volume to the recently published Eye of The Prophet, Visions Of The Prophet reveals a
quixotic, passionate Gibran unrevealed in earlier works.
