The Forerunner by Kahlil Gibran ( 1969 Edition )
Born near Mount Lebanon, poet and novelist Kahlil Gibran considered himself foremost a painter but was the key figure in a Romantic movement that transformed Arabic literature in the first half of the twentieth century.
The Forerunner, first published in 1920, consists of parables and poems on the theme of the dual nature of man - at once eternal and contingent.
The book features Gibran’s own arresting illustrations, often compared to Blake.
