Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) was an influential Lebanese-American artist, poet, and philosopher. He is best known for his 1923 book, The Prophet , which has sold millions of copies and is one of the best-selling books of all time. Gibran was born in Bsharri, Lebanon, to a Maronite Christian family. He was raised in a culturally diverse environment, which allowed him to gain an appreciation for different cultures and perspectives. He moved to the United States in 1895, and studied art in various Boston schools. His work was greatly influenced by his cultural heritage, but also by the works of European masters such as Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. In 1912, he published his first book of prose, The Broken Wings , and his first collection of poetry, Spirits Rebellious . Both works were well-received and established him as an important writer. He also wrote several plays, novels, and essays during his lifetime. Gibran’s philosophy was based on his belief that all people are connected, and that love and understanding are necessary for a meaningful life. He is remembered for his wisdom and for his commitment to peace and understanding. His legacy continues to live on through his work, which has been translated into more than twenty languages. —- ISBN: 9798562678607
