The letters written by Gibran are eloquent portraits of his psychological states. They are free of all ambiguity and action; they represent his frank, sweet nature, flowing naturally. This book before us contains selections from Gibran's letters, then collected according to chronological order, with the desire to reveal the stages of development in the psyche of that rebellious artist who knew no way to stability, as well as a desire to reveal some aspects of the life of this human enigma who carried high the name of Lebanon and Arabic literature.
