About the author
Kahlil Gibran
1,355 books15.2k followersKahlil Gibran (Arabic:
جبران خليل جبران
) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer.
Born in the town of Bsharri in modern-day Lebanon (then part of Ottoman Mount Lebanon), as a young man he emigrated with his family to the United States where he studied art and began his literary career. 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 Lao-Tzu.

Die besten Auszüge waren meiner Meinung aus “der Narr” und die Aphorismen. Auch tolle Briefe waren dabei. Auszüge aus “der Prophet” und “der Wanderer”hingegen waren mir persönlich ein bisschen zu spirituell und pathetisch. Teilweise gab es keine besondere Pointe, obwohl der Text erst so geladen war und dann hatten manche letzten Sätze wenig Moral. Aber irgendwie schöne Gleichnisse, die etwas in meiner Einstellung zum Leben verändert haben.
