Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. Three works by Kahlil Gibran from Alfred A. Knopf of New York, each a hardcover in its pictorial cream Borzoi Books dust jacket: A Tear and a Smile, The Wanderer and Sand and Foam. Together they gather the young poet writing in Arabic, the master of the short parable and the coiner of aphorisms, from the house that published The Prophet, and they sit as a quiet, matching run on any shelf. | BIBLIOGRAPHIC DETAILS | Author: Kahlil Gibran. A Tear and a Smile with an introduction by Robert Hillyer, in the English translation by H. M. Nahmad | Title: A Tear and a Smile; The Wanderer: His Parables and Sayings; Sand and Foam (three volumes) | Publisher and place: Alfred A. Knopf, New York (Borzoi Books) | Illustrator: Kahlil Gibran. The A Tear and a Smile jacket reproduces a drawing signed Gibran in the plate, and The Wanderer jacket reproduces a portrait drawing | Binding: Hardcover, three volumes | Dust jacket: Present on all three, cream pictorial jackets with the Knopf Borzoi device | Language: English | CONDITION | All three are in their dust jackets, which are evenly toned to a warm cream. The A Tear and a Smile jacket has a small nick at the head of the front panel near the corner and a few faint spots. The Wanderer jacket is toned with light soiling and small nicks along the lower edge. The Sand and Foam jacket is toned, with rubbing along its edges. The page edges are toned. The jacket spines and rear panels, the boards beneath the jackets and the interiors are not recorded. | ABOUT THE BOOK | A Tear and a Smile is the earliest of the three in origin. Gibran wrote these short prose poems in Arabic as a young man, many of them for an Arabic-language newspaper in New York, and they were gathered as a book in 1914. In English translation they range over love and beauty, the seasons and the natural world, the sorrow of the poor and the cruelty of the powerful, and the soul's longing for something beyond its present life. The jacket calls it the sole complete authorized version. | The Wanderer, His Parables and Sayings, is the last book Gibran completed before his death in April 1931, published by Knopf the following year. It opens with a meeting at a crossroads with a wanderer who tells his tales, and then follows with some fifty brief parables in which animals, objects and ordinary people reveal the follies and quiet wisdom of human life. Sand and Foam of 1926 is a book of aphorisms: short sayings, some only a line long, on love, friendship, faith, art, solitude and death, written in English in the years after The Prophet. Read together, the three show the range of a writer remembered chiefly for one book, from the lyrical prose poems of his youth to the spare parables of his last years. | COLLECTOR AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE | Alfred A. Knopf published The Prophet in 1923 and remained Gibran's American publisher, keeping his books in print for decades. The jackets reproduce Gibran's own artwork, which was integral to how he presented his writing. The dates and printings of these copies are not recorded, and they are offered as a matched reading and display group, unsigned and without recorded provenance. | HOUSE OF GENEVIEVE CATALOG STATEMENT | From a carefully curated catalog emphasizing collectible, decorative, and historically significant editions selected for condition and presentation.
