The Book of Khalid - Illustrated by Khalil Gibran (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781849024242)

The Book of Khalid is a novel that was written in 1911 by the Arab author Ameen Fares Rihan. He wrote in English and described the perilous journey of immigrants to America. This was the first book to paint a picture of immigration, and also the first to break the barrier between East and West. In telling the story it points out the conflicts between Eastern and Western values and culture and attempts to reconcile them. This edition comes with the original illustrations by his friend and colleague Khalil Gibran, and some think that this book influenced "The Prophet".
