Kahlil Gibran 
Sand and Foam. Illustrated 

Kahlil Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu.
Sand and Foam is a book of aphorisms, poems, and parables by the author of ‘The Prophet’ – a philosopher at his window commenting on the scene passing below.
In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In modern Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.
