The Storm by Khalil Gibran

First Published In: 1993.
This work contains 14 short stories and poems, that express many of Gibran's key themes: the injustice meted out to the poor and the weak; the beauties of nature needlessly destroyed by man; and the innocent purity of young love, so often crushed underfoot by society.
it is a very rich read, full of sentences that will stay with you forever.
although khalil Gibran wrote these stories in arabic, critics agree that this is one of the best translations there is. enjoy.
