Khalil Gibran(born January 6, 1883, Bsharrī, Lebanon—died April 10, 1931, New York, New York, U.S.), Lebanese-American philosophical essayist, novelist, poet, and artist.
Having received his primary education in Beirut, Gibran moved with his parents to Boston in 1895. He got back to Lebanon in 1898 and studied on in Beirut, where he succeeded in the Arabic language. On his re-visitation of Boston in 1903, he published his first literary essays; in 1907 he met Mary Haskell, who was to be his supporter for his entire life and who made it workable for him to to study art in Paris. In 1912 Gibran got settled in New York City and committed himself to writing literary essays and short stories, both in Arabic and in English, and to painting.
Gibran’s literary and artistic output is highly romantic in outlook and was influenced by the Bible, Friedrich Nietzsche, and William Blake. His writings in both languages, which deal with such themes as love, death, nature, and a longing for the homeland, are full of lyrical outpourings and are expressive of Gibran’s deeply religious and mystic nature.
Gibran's chief works in Arabic are: ʿArāʾis al-Murūj (1910; Nymphs of the Valley); Damʿah wa Ibtisāmah (1914; A Tear and a Smile); Al-Arwāḥ al-Mutamarridah (1920; Spirits Rebellious); Al-Ajniḥah al-Mutakassirah (1922; The Broken Wings); Al-ʿAwāṣif (1923; “The Storms”); and Al-Mawākib (1923; The Procession), poems. His principal works in English are The Madman (1918), The Forerunner (1920), The Prophet (1923; film 2014), Sand and Foam (1926), and Jesus, the Son of Man (1928).
