I appreciate how Gibran uses language, and the points he was trying to make in these stories, but I wasn't terribly moved. ( )

> Avoir l'esprit rebelle pour toujours aller de l'avant, c'est le message de Kalhil Gibran, ce grand auteur, ce grand homme. Quel esprit, quel philosophe, quel poète de la pensée ! Il faut se laisser aller, et notre pensée vagabonde et profite des expériences de vie qu'il relate avec son talent de conteur. C'est si vrai et transposable !
Petit livre a conservé sur soi.... ou dans toute bonne bibliothèque!

Powerful, rich writing, of a spiritual painter, whose expressions unify all the religions of the overflowing lands of the Levant. This book is a collection of three "stories" -- Madame Rose Hanie, The Cry of the Graves, and the infamous Khalil the Heretic, for which Gibran was condemned by the Sultan and his Emirs.

The Preface notes that when the author died in 1931, hundreds of religious leaders of every denomination attended. All were included -- the Maronites, Catholics, Shiites, Protestants, Mohammedans, Greek Orthodox, Jews, Sunnites, Druzes, and others.
