The rebellious spirits

"Rebel Souls" is a book published for the first time in New York City in 1908, in which Gibran gathers four stories: Wardat al-Hani, the scream of graves, the bride's bed, and Khalil the disbeliever. These stories clarify how these souls rebel against customs, traditions, laws, and regulations imposed by authority to suppress human freedom, and to limit his thoughts and actions, while at the same time imposing a legal privilege for a group of people at the expense of another. Gibran in this crazy book combines the rational with the rebellious, the obedient with the oppressed, the unjust with the just, and the fallen with the virtuous, in a sweet musical style through which he depicts the emotions of different social classes, from the beggar to the rich, and from the atheist to the saint.
