This work is a definitive biography of the author of "The Prophet". As a poet, artist, mystic, prophet, visionary and spiritual idealist, Gibran was a legend of his time, and his intensity continues to animate numerous people even today.
Kahlil Gibran's bestselling poetic masterpiece, "The Prophet", originally published in 1923, continues to inspire millions worldwide with its timeless words of love and mystical longing. Yet Gibran's genius went much further than this, to produce over 30 literary works, in both English and Arabic, as well some 40 works of art, all characterized by an almost "other-worldly" beauty. This biography penetrates to the very heart of Gibran's brilliance. Going beyond the many myths that surround Gibran, Bushrui and Jenkins chart his colourful life, his dramatic love affairs, and his artistic achievements, to reveal a portrait of a remarkable man. Revealing how both his life and work unite East with West, ancient with modern, they explore the enduring message of Gibran's work, with its heart-felt desire for the kind of spiritual life that renders the material world meaningful, and imbues it with dignity.
