This is the one author that mostly influenced me in my childhood. I used to read for him a lot, and seriously it is a pity that a writer who is nicknamed the "monk of al Shakhroub" did not earn the reputation he deserved worldwide. He was a good friend of Gebran Khalil Gebran, but to me, he always stood as a way more important writer. Michael Na'imeh is so refined of a philosopher, so sensitive to issues concerning the human being in every time and place. His mystical view of the world is enjoyed by many.
This is his "Book of Mirdad",
https://b-ok.asia/book/3591837/d694fe , one of his most famous writings that Osho said about:
"There are millions of books in the world, but ‘The Book of Mirdad’ stands out far above any book in existence. ..It is a small book, but the man who gave birth to this book – and mind my words, I am not saying ‘the man who wrote this book’, nobody wrote this book – was an unknown, a nobody. And because he was not a novelist, he never wrote again; just that single book contains his whole experience. The name of the man was Micahel Naimeh.”
I hope the English translation is good, though.
This is a fb page that you can access many of his quotes from (of course they need to be transalted).
