Description

Sand and Foam - A Book of Aphorisms is a 1926 work by Lebanese-American poet Khalil Gibran. It contains eighty-five pages of aphorisms, poems, and parables that demonstrate Gibran's characteristic ability to masterfully encapsulate profound concepts in just two or three lines. Gibran Khalil Gibran (1883 - 1931) was a Lebanese-American poet, writer, and artist best known as the author of "The Prophet" (1923), which is one of the best-selling books of all time. Gibran's work covers such themes as justice, religion, science, free will, love, happiness, the soul, the body, and death. He is widely considered to have been one of the most important figures in Arabic poetry and literature during the first half of the twentieth century. Other notable works by this author include: "Music" (1905), "Rebellious Spirits" (1908), and "Broken Wings" (1912). This volume is highly recommended for fans of Gibran's seminal work and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
