"The Madman: His Parables and Poems" by Kahlil Gibran is a collection that looks closely at what it means to be human, using stories and poems to do so. It's like taking a walk through the mind of someone society calls a madman, but who actually sees the world in a unique and wise way. Through his experiences, the narrator explores big ideas like love, friendship, and how we fit into the world. He shares tales, like one about a scarecrow who learns to love being alone, that show the difficult parts of being human, while pondering feeling stuck between who you are and what others expect. The book invites readers to think about their own lives and see the world in a new light. It's full of a mix of strange ideas and beautiful writing, perfect for anyone who has ever felt a little different.
