The nine books which make up "A Treasury of Kahlil Gibran" contain the texts of "Secrets of the Heart", "Tears and Laughter" and "Spirits Rebellious", together with hitherto unpublished writings by Gibran, which are included in the brilliant preface by the distinguished Gibran scholar, Martin L. Wolf.
