The Storm: Stories and Prose Poems by Kahlil Gibran

The Storm brings together fourteen short stories and prose poems from Gibran's Arabic writings, which exhibit several characteristic themes: the injustice perpetrated by society against the poor, the weak, and the sincere; nature and its destruction by man; and the purity and innocence of young love and its perversion and destruction by society. John Walbridge's clear, sensitive, and fluent translation provides us with an inspired and faithful approach to one of the twentieth century's most beloved authors.
