    About this audiobook

    Kahlil Gibran (author of The Prophet) was a Lebanese-American philosophical essayist, novelist, mystical poet and artist. During the last 20 years of his life, he lived in the United States, where his works gained recognition and influence within the American popular culture.

    This abridged audio of The Madman communicates in stories and metaphors Gibran's belief that if a sensible way of living and thinking could be found, people would have mastery over their lives.

    Kahlil Gibran

    Poet, philosopher, and artist, Kahlil Gibran (1883 - 1931) was born in Lebanon. The millions of Arabic-speaking peoples familiar with his writings in that language consider him the genius of his age and he was a man whose fame and influence spread far beyond the country of his birth. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages and his drawings and paintings have been exhibited in the great capitals of the world and compared by Auguste Rodin to the work of William Blake.

      Ahab Chapter XIX for ye who knows it brother Bildad
    • 4/5
      Gibran’s words stand on their own in this truly the worst narration of some of the most beautiful words ever written
    • 4/5
      Khalil Gibran with each one of his book seems to have the keys to forgotten rooms of my heart where he leads me in and I found joy and recognition.
      Not my favorite book of the ones he wrote bout a very good one indeed!
