For years, each generation has rediscovered the depth and wisdom of Gibran's texts. The poet from Lebanon published timeless truths that reflect his keen sensitivity to the emotional needs of people. This elegantly produced edition of all his works allows for an almost limitless immersion in the beauty of his words across more than 1800 pages. The fifth volume contains letters by Gibran, most of which are published in German for the first time: letters to publisher friends that reveal what Gibran himself thought about his works, correspondence with fellow writers in exile, letters to relatives, as well as letters to his "lovers" Mary Haskell, May Ziadeh, and Josephine Peabody. Particularly touching are the letters to "Marita," his model during his art studies.
