Khalil Gibran was an artist, poet and writer. He was born in Lebanon and spent much of his productive life in the United States. As a result of his family's poverty, he did not receive any formal schooling during his youth in Lebanon. However, priests visited him regularly and taught him about the Bible, as well as the Syriac and Arabic languages. During these early days, he began developing ideas that would later form some of his major works. In particular, he conceived of The Prophet (1923) at this time. The Madman was published in 1918.

Autorenporträt
A Lebanese born immigrant to the United States poet and author, Kahlil Gibran became internationally known as one of the top best-selling poets of all time writing his works in English. His interest in art, inspired by Leonard DaVinci, is captured in the many drawings that are present within his poetic works. Gibran's strong foundation in his cultural roots is evident throughout his prose as he weaves social issues, human freedoms, and the mysteries of life into all his art forms. Strong themes of love, life, sorrow, and pain established Gibran as a literary figure in the early 1900s.
