An inspirational collection of love letters from the most emotive writer of the 20th century

Kahlil Gibran and May Ziadah knew one another solely from the letters they exchanged and from a deep admiration for each other's work. Yet their correspondence endured a lifetime, as did their love.

This collection of letters, the first ever to appear in English, reveals the eloquence and beauty of Gibran's writing in a form and style that is both profoundly personal and emotionally evocative. Illustrated throughout with Gibran's ink sketches and fascinating photographs of his original letters, this exquisite gift edition presents a moving insight into the writer behind The Prophet, the bestselling book of the twentieth century.

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) was one of the twentieth century's most inspirational poets and authors. He drew upon his personal faith to write such bestsellers as The Prophet and Jesus Son of Man.
