A selection of exquisite writings on love, marriage and the spiritual union of souls from Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet.
Synopsis
For Kahlil Gibran love was the supreme way of achieving self-realization and completeness as a human being. Anyone can have their life transformed by the all-consuming power of an encounter with the Beloved. Yet everywhere we see people trapped in joyless or arranged marriages, and passion sacrificed to convention.
Here, in The Beloved, Kahlil Gibran writes beautifully about love, marriage and the union of souls – adding a new dimension to our understanding of the philosophy of love and its role in contemporary society.
