Philosophy of life has been the subject for innumerable people, poets and saints who have done an exemplary job for the world to refer to. Khalil Gibran's Madman is a perfect example of such minute revelations of life that one almost feels like a madman thinking about them. But at the same time there is no denying the fact that plague the mind of person who walks the face of earth. In this book Khalil has attempted to clear the doubts of a person by way of prose, tales, poetry and anecdotes that make it easy for one to relate to it. One has to flip through the pages of the book with acceptance and surrender in order to fully realise what the author intends to speak about.
