Kahlil Gibran was a Lebanese-American writer, poet, visual artist and philosopher.
He is best known for his book The Prophet, a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose.
Gibran was born in 1883 in Lebanon and emigrated to the United States as a young man.
His works, which blend Eastern and Western mystical traditions, explore themes of love, death, nature and spirituality.
Gibran's poetic style and spiritual wisdom have made him one of the bestselling poets in history.
Though he wrote primarily in English after moving to America, Gibran was also fluent in Arabic and produced works in both languages.
He died in New York City in 1931 at the age of 48, leaving behind a influential body of writing that continues to inspire readers around the world.
