Produktbeschreibung
Soon after the publication of the original Arabic version of "Spirits Rebellious" in 1908, considerable agitation developed. The book was burned publicly in Lebanon and Kahlil Gibran, the author, was forced for an exile. That is, mainly, due to the open question to authority that it contains. "Spirits Rebellious" contains three stories centering around man, religion, law and authority all of which do not just depict the society in the early 1900s but the themes are universal.

There are many questions posed by Gibran in this book. His inquisitive thoughts are very provocative to the mind and conscience.
Gibran shakes you out of the slumber of the societal norms and earthly laws that have held mankind in shackles and ignites your soul with his fire and his rebellion.

Autorenporträt
Kahlil Gibran (Arabic: جبران خليل جبران ) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer. Born in the town of Bsharri in modern-day Lebanon (then part of Ottoman Mount Lebanon), as a young man he emigrated with his family to the United States where he studied art and began his literary career. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero. He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again, especially in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu.
