The Book of Mirdad

Více o knize

Mikhail Naimy, friend, biographer and contemporary of Gibran - with whom he founded a dynamic movement for the rejuvenation of Arabic literature - is widely published and read in the East. Of his twenty-two volumes it is however The Book of Mirdad which has so far found the warmest and most constant place in the hearts of Western readers. Legend, mysticism, philosophy and poetry have been woven with magic skill into this strange story about the monastery which was once called The Ark.
