Gibran Khalil Gibran, The Complete Works. In one book, this has the original texts in English and Arabic. Publisher: Gibran embraces the universe and absorbs the problem of evil by seeing it as part and parcel of life, as a dark fact that stands unsevered from a larger whole. This explains why his words were seized upon by celebrants at the threshold of a spiritual experience. And there is more to Gibran: there is beauty, wisdom, an uncanny grasp of life's inseparable twin, time.
