Gibran was a Lebanese poet and novelist who wrote in both English and Arabic. In 1895, at the age of 12, he caught the attention of his public school teachers in Boston. He later moved to Paris and studied with Auguste Rodin, then settled in New York in 1912 and devoted himself to writing and painting. Fusing elements of Eastern and Western mysticism, he achieved lasting fame with such aphoristic, poetic works as The Prophet and Jesus, the Son of Man.
