About this title

About the Author:

Mikhail Naimy grew up in a small Orthodox Christian community in Lebanon. After studying in Russia, Naimy moved to New York where he was part of the Lebanese literary group with included Kahil Gibran. He wrote this book in English on his return to Lebanon after World War II, and is now acknowledged as one of Lebanon's leading poets. He died some years ago.

Review:

"Millions of people have tried to write books so that they can express the inexpressible, but they have utterly failed. I know only one book, The Book of Mirdad, which has not failed; and if you cannot get to the very essence of it, it will be your failure, not his." Osho "It is not for me to assess the relative literary merits of Kahlil Gibran and Mikhail Naimy; but although as a much younger man I derived immense satisfaction from reading The Prophet, I now find a much deeper wisdom in the less well known works of the Prophet's friend, Mikhail Naimy." Dr Kenneth Walker
