GIBRAN, Kahil. The Procession.

(New York, NY): A Division of Philosphical Library, 1958.  First edition.  Hardcover.  21cm by 14.4cm.  111 pages.  Edited and translated by George Kheirallah.  A profound exploration of the human condition, The Procession (Al-Mawakib) stands as one of Kahlil Gibran’s most evocative poetic works. Originally composed in Arabic in 1919, this collection employs a dialogue between age and youth to delve into timeless themes such as freedom, death, and the eternal soul. Through a series of dramatic poems, Gibran presents a symbolic parade of characters—Justice, Love, Hypocrisy, Spiritual Awakening—each embodying facets of society’s virtues and vices. This allegorical procession invites readers to reflect on the complexities of human nature and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment.  A very good copy in dust jacket, jacket with some wear and tears at edges, corners, old sticker to cover.
