Madman

The book explores themes of madness, love, spirituality, and the human condition. The essays are presented as the musings of a madman who wanders the streets and countrysides, speaking in riddles and offering cryptic insights into life and the nature of existence. Through the character of the madman, Gibran explores the idea that true wisdom and understanding can only be gained by stepping outside of societal norms and expectations, and by embracing the irrational and the seemingly incomprehensible. Overall, 'The Madman' is a profound and moving work that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and assumptions about the world, and to embrace the madness and uncertainty that lies at the heart of the human experience. Read in English, unabridged.
