Widely known as the author of The Prophet, which sold more copies in the 20th century than any other book but the Bible, the great Lebanese-American poet and artist Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) published his The Madman in 1918. Thought-provoking and inspiring, it is a collection of memorable, life-affirming parables and poems, many of them casting an ironic light on the beliefs, aspirations, and vanities of humankind.

Khalil Gibran was an artist, poet and writer. He was born in Lebanon and spent much of his productive life in the United States. As a result of his family's poverty, he did not receive any formal schooling during his youth in Lebanon. However, priests visited him regularly and taught him about the Bible, as well as the Syriac and Arabic languages. During these early days, he began developing ideas that would later form some of his major works. In particular, he conceived of The Prophet (1923) at this time. The Madman was published in 1918.

Detta är en en unik nyutgåva av original översättningen till svenska som första gången gavs ut 1977. Boken profeten hör till de mest lästa böckerna någonsin. Den kom först ut i Amerika 1923, och blev en omedelbar succé. Många har konstaterat att Profeten har varit mest eftertraktad i tider av stora förändringar och kriser. I sådana tider behöver vi människor fasta orienteringspunkter, och många vittnar om att det är just något sådant som Profeten erbjuder. Idag känner nog de flesta av oss extrem osäkerhet om vad som egentligen händer i världen och vart vi är på väg. Profetens tidlösa budskap pekar mot en verklighet bortom det materiella och skänker tröst och styrka. Den läses och reciteras i alla livets avgörande skeden.
