The Storm brings together fourteen short stories and prose poems from Gibran's Arabic writings, which exhibit several characteristic Gibran 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.

Reflections in the Mirror,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Storm (Hardcover)
Kahlil Gibran has a way of writing that may touch any individual's thought and evoke musings of the old. Gibran is a poet/philosopher/artist chiefly, and has many works out.
The Storm is a favourite of mine because it is filled with a different kind of parable when compared to The Madman. Stories of the simplest experiences become water into wine experiences. The Storm becomes a work that one will read time and time again. It can be read a million different ways. I recommend either this or The Madman for beginner Gibran fans. Bon appetit.

A beautiful book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Storm: Stories and Prose Poems (Compass) (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book about a year ago, and was struck by the beautiful langiage, and imagery. Gibran writes what the soul sees. I have an extensive collection of his work, and I am very pleased to have this one now in my collection. I would recomend it for anyone interested in how beautifully words can be arranged and written down.

This review is from: The Storm (Hardcover)
The reason that my review is entitled "perfection", is simply because my experience in obtaining a copy of Kahlil Gibran's, The Storm was effortless. Absolutely no complaints!
