It situates Gibran within his worldly contexts to unveil and analyse how the particular and the universal dialectically intersect in his multifarious work, including poetry, short stories, essays, plays and letters. What emerges is a post-religious poet who is both modern and critical of modernity, a creative but anxious bilingual writer, and a critical-nationalist intellectual embedded in the \u003ci\u003enahda\u003c\/i\u003e or Arab renaissance. In its situated close readings of Gibran's work in both languages and across genres and contexts, the book reveals what is both absent and absented in its Anglo-American reception, demonstrating that there is much more to Gibran than his famous book \u003ci\u003eThe Prophet\u003c\/i\u003e. It also probes this reception alongside its Arabic counterpart, highlighting and interrogating the multiple conditions of reading that have produced different functions of Gibran.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ghazouane Arslane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399504681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399504683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Ghazouane Arslane","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46110868832511,"sku":"9781399504683","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f448605-0e93-4611-8247-b670546c2d22.jpg?v=1725470003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gibran-khalil-gibran-as-arab-ghazouane-arslane-9781399504683","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
