The Strange Story Of A Monastery Which Was Once Called The Ark.
This timeless allegorical story which has touched the hearts of so many readers, continues to show new generations how it is possible to expand one's consciousness and to uncover God in man by dissolving man's sense of duality.
Mikhail Naimy tells of the visit of the mysterious stranger, Mirdad, to the remote mountain monastery, the Ark. The culmination and indeed the message is that Mirdad's own Ark, is the Ark of Holy Understanding, which will bring mankind through another deluge, greater than Noah's, when heaven will be revealed on earth.
Mikhail Naimy was a contemporary of Kahil Gibran and his writing style is very much influenced by Gibran's style. It has been said that the way the book has been written, unravelling one layer after another, shows it has descended from some mysterious source.
