Between Night and Morn

A selection of early works by bestselling author Kahlil Gibran offers an accessible introduction to his beautiful language and inspiring worldview. The prolific writings of Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet , continue to inspire a devoted international following and have transformed modern Arabic literature. In this volume of early writings, Gibran's simple yet lyrical style crosses from prose to poetry and yields insight into his dedication and inner vision of beauty, including the tale of a strange hermit in "The Tempest," the discovery of love lost to war in "The Mermaids," and the long voyage of sea and soul in the prose poem "Between Night and Morn." From scathing indictments against worldly wrongs to tender spiritual exultations, Between Night and Morn powerfully evokes the mood and magnetism of Gibran.
