| Summary |
A timeless classic ... A brilliant man's philosophy on love, marriage, joy and sorrow, time, friendship and much more. Originally published in 1923 -- translated into more than 20 languages. Kahlil Gibran, poet, philosopher, and artist was born in Lebanon, in 1883, and received his primary education in Beruit before emigrating with his parents to Boston in 1895. In 1989 he returned to Lebanon to continue his studies in Arabic before returning to Boston in 1903, around which time he met Mart Haskell, who would become his lifelong benefactor. In 1912, he settled in New York City and devoted himself to writing (both in Arabic and English) and to painting. Gibran died in 1931. |
