صدر كتاب "السابق" عام 1920، وكان جبران وقتها مرهقًا بأعمال كثيرة، كنحلة مريضة في حديقة أزهار، كما ورد عنه في رسالته إلى ميخائيل نعيمة. عرّف جبران كتابَه هذا ووضع تحت العنوان الرئيسي السابق عنوان فرعي: حكاياته الرمزيّة وقصائده. وهو كتابه الثاني بالإنكليزية (عن دار كنوف). ظهر "السابق" "كالمجنون" في قَطع صغير، لأن مؤلفه، على حدّ ما قال لماري هاسكل، اعتبر هذا القَطع من شروط الكتاب الأمثل، وقال لها بصدده: "علينا أن نتعلّم كيف ننتقدُ أنفسنا. يرى الشاعر رؤيا وهو في عالم آخر وحين يرجع من عالمه فيحاول أن يقصّ رؤياه قد لا يفلح في بلورتها في قصيدة أو لوحة".

Was the satori handed to him by a taxi driver, a waiter, a monsieur with a dazzlingly beautiful secretary, or while feeling fearful in the foggy streets at 3:00 a.m.? Or was it when hearing a requiem by Mozart in an old church, seeing trees in the Tuileries Garden, or while walking on a bridge over the River Seine?

There are books that awaken the intellect, books that stir the heart—and then, rarest of all, there are books that shift the fabric of reality, that open quiet doors in the mind through which something older, stranger, and more beautiful begins to seep in. A Dreamer’s Tales is such a book. In this book, Lord Dunsany does not merely tell stories. He conjures realms beneath reason, cities where time is a superstition, and gods born from silence.
