Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kahlil Gibran: full Arabic name Gibran Khalil Gibran, (January 6, 1883 – April 10, 1931) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer of the New York Pen League.

Kahlil Gibran was born in the town of Bsharri in the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire (north of modern-day Lebanon), to Khalil Gibran and Kamila Gibran(Rahmeh). As a young man Kahlil emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.

He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again, especially in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete read.

Started as did the hardcover full print. A gorgeous peek into a mind of days before boredom required TV or internet and instead was filled with words, thoughts, and imagination. In this day, all these great writers would be on meds and even Jesus and his followers would be on haldol, zi-something-prexa, or Quetiapine(b/c you know, the poor get off brand meds too!)
Just read, just read read with your heart, just rebirth in the juxtaposition of those minds in earlier days and ours in more modern times.

Not tiny as in a thin book. It's more like pocket sized. Or maybe more like pocketbook size to be more accurate. Almost done with it but so far I haven't read too many words of wisdom
