Book Description
This story is about a Lebanese boy who dreams and dreams while he sails paper boats down the river in Baalbek and who sails on a boat of steel for the port of New York. While he starts life as a merchant… his mind adventures into the nebulae of atheism. He, later, seeks an apprenticeship in a law office. Metaphysics and science bloom for him in Bohemia under the culture of a Medium... that makes him political canvasser for the Lebanese and Syrian district. But Khalid preaches '' imminent morality'' and is sent to prison for ten days. Imminent morality fares as badly in Baalbek as in New York. His father expels him from home; the Church prevents his marriage to his cousin and excommunicates him. To an American priestess of Babism he turns.
Khalid is not a student of Western institutions so much as he is an observer of men, a creature of instincts and intuitions. He watches the ''plangent currents'' of life with faith in the '' general moral summation of the experience of mankind''. He has the value of charm of a penetrating mind and a vivid heart and he fitfully illuminates many dark corners in our civilization. He is a citizen not of the Occident nor of the Orient, but he is a poet singing to the universe and to the Superman. His dissertation on flounces, his description of the dawn, and his superb invocation to Nature at the beginning of the Second Book are vocal with a passion for the world on whose breast the United States, Lebanon and Arabia are but ant-hills.
