The Forerunner (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161463545)

The Forerunner is a collection of poetic essays written by Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese-American writer and philosopher. The book is divided into two sections, with the first part focusing on the theme of love and the second part exploring the theme of freedom. In the first section, Gibran writes about the different aspects of love, including romantic love, familial love, and spiritual love. He explores the beauty and pain of love, and offers insights into how love can transform and enrich our lives. The second section of the book delves into the concept of freedom, both in a personal and societal sense. Gibran discusses the importance of individual freedom and the need for people to break free from the constraints of society and tradition. He also explores the idea of freedom as a spiritual concept, and how it can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself and the world. Throughout the book, Gibran's writing is lyrical and philosophical, with a focus on the human experience and the search for meaning and purpose. The Forerunner is a timeless work that continues to inspire readers with its wisdom and beauty.""My mate shall come riding on the waves. His thundering roar shall fill the earth with fear, and the flames of his nostrils shall set the sky afire. At the eclipse of the moon we shall be wedded, and at the eclipse of the sun I shall give birth to a Saint George, who shall slay me.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
