The Madman is a book by Gibran Khalil Gibran, and it is Gibran's first book in English. It includes thirty-five symbolic tales and a prose poem. In The Madman, there are sarcastic tales that embody the bitterness of disappointment and resentment against malice, ignorance and rigidity. Gibran made his hero mad so that he would become like the popular proverb: "A madman speaks, and a sane person understands", or because the madman, as he claimed, is the first step towards detachment, and in his view, as in the view of the Surrealist school, he helps to realize the secrets and opinions of the veil of reason. The book deals with one topic, the problem of the self in its relationship with itself and with others, with the universe and with God. This topic is social and metaphysical, and the book represents the one who follows himself and the traditions and values of his society and is liberated in them. The book is also a collection of proverbs that symbolize liberation and rejection of traditions, spiritual elevation and the longing for perfection in a simplified language that relies on effective drama, metaphors and precise, funny similes. ▬ ...
