The Madman
Kahlil Gibran
His first book written in English: some thirty parables and short poems opening with the tale of a man whose seven masks are stolen and who finds in madness 'freedom and safety'. With Nietzschean irony and cruelty it unmasks moral hypocrisy, pride and conventional religion. Alfred A. Knopf published it with three drawings by the author.
