GIBRAN, Kahlil - Spirits Rebellious - (Hardcover)

Sadly no dust wrapper but book still in an excellent condition.  Kahlil Gibran (Arabic:   ) 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.
