	Kahlil Gibran
		Khalil Gibran was born in Bechari (Bsharri), Lebanon, a mountain village of Maronite Christians.

		Gibran died of liver disease, possibly accelerated by alcoholism, in New York on April 10, 1931.

	Khalil Gibran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Growing up in the lush region of Bsharri, Gibran proved to be a solitary and pensive child who relished the natural surroundings of the cascading falls, the rugged cliffs and the neighboring green cedars, the beauty of which emerged as a dramatic and symbolic influence to his drawings and writings.
		Gibran entered school on September 30, 1895, merely two months after his arrival in the U.S. Having no formal education, he was placed in an ungraded class reserved for immigrant children, who had to learn English from scratch.
		Gibran died in New York City on April 10, 1931: the cause was determined to be cirrhosis of the liver, and tuberculosis.

		Gibran, however, was not only a man from the East who brought a much-needed element of spirituality to the West, he equally became a man of the West, benefiting from an environment in which freedom, democracy and equality of opportunity opened doors before him as would have been possible nowhere else in the world.
		Gibran’s attitude towards America was often ambivalent, perhaps not surprisingly in one who longed for the place of his birth and would himself come to symbolize the struggle to reconcile East and West.
		Kahlil Gibran was truly a citizen of the world; a man from the East who brought a much-needed element of spirituality to the West; and eventually a man of the West as well, benefiting from an environment in which freedom, democracy and equality of opportunity opened doors for him.

		It is said that Gibran craved solitude and, as a child, would escape into the hidden monasteries in the deep gorges of the Holy Valley, away from the bitter clashes between his despairing mother and his raging father.

		Gibran produced a small body of writings in Arabic and in English, and managed to be soupily soulful and vaguely prophetic in both languages.
		Gibran believed himself to be one such deep drinker and in Jesus, the Son of Man (1928), he divested Jesus of his divine nature and miraculous attributes, presenting him instead as a sententious sage - as a forerunner of Gibran.
		Gibran, and other Arab poets living in exile in America (the Mahjar movement), but mostly Gibran, were largely responsible for the introduction of romantic themes into Arabic poetry and for the breakdown of the constraints recognised by poets of the neoclassical school.

		Kahlil Gibran was born in the village of Becharri, at the foot of the Cedars of Lebanon, in 1883.
		Gibran is derived from, or related to, “jabara: to restore, to repair, to bring unequal parts to unity.” This happens in mathematics, in medicine, and in our daily life, as in to comfort, to console, to restore harmony and to assuage the bruised or injured body, heart, or soul.
		The novel, which was illustrated by Khalil Gibran, established themes for modern Arab literature: the roles of wisdom and prophecy, reconciliation of matter and spirit, and unification of eastern and western worlds to a larger world vision.
