Gibran Khalil Gibran 1883-1931 Jesus the son of Man
The book is magic! In this work, Gibran's words are sheer poety
reminiscent of his great work "The Prophet". Rare are the
authors who could come so close to revealing the essence that
was Jesus, in such a masterful way. A treasure to savour.
Poet, philosopher, and artist, was born in the Lebanese
countryside.
His fame and influence spread far beyond his native Lebanon. He
is mostly known as the author of the Prophet, and widely
regarded as a man of the East who brought a much needed element
of spirituality to the West.
