Born in 1883 into a disadvantaged Maronite Christian family, his genius propelled him to the level of world renowned author with best-selling works like \u003cem\u003eThe Prophet, The Madman \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e Sand and Foam. \u003c\/em\u003eGibran was influenced by his own religion as well as by the mysticism of the Sufis and, in particular, by the Bahá'í Faith, a religion that stresses the spiritual unity of all mankind and recognises that we were all created by the same God.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e The Madman\u003c\/em\u003e is the voice of a mystic whose masks, or personae, have been \"stolen\". It is a distillate, in parable form, of the \"true self\" - full of the wonder of God and yet, at times, troubled with sardonic questions about man's spiritual path. The narrator - no doubt Gibran himself - is the impassioned seeker, who expresses himself through the thirty-four parables and poems of \u003cem\u003eThe Madman\u003c\/em\u003e. Its bitter tones and dark spaces are not for the faint-hearted spiritual traveller but it is without doubt an honest and potent expression of a true seeker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 29, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52730943897907,"sku":"9781911405351","price":18.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/p_luvQ3IQz9781911405351_9ad6fa27-a1db-455c-9de9-fda37a6971e6.webp?v=1763845020","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-madman-his-parables-and-poems-aziloth-books-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
