Khalil Gibran, nació en Bisharri, Líbano, el 6 de enero de 1883. A los 11 años, emigró con su familia a los Estados Unidos.

En 1902 inicia su vocación por la pintura, que le llevaría a ser famoso por doquier; y es en París donde expone sus obras y gana el elogio de la crítica.

Kahlil Gibran's 'The Madman' was the first book he penned in English. Beautifully written, it is a short collection of parables on God, animals, human nature, and life's big questions.

How do their minds tangle with the subject and make sense of this? That’s what we wondered, too. Poets as rich and diverse as Longfellow, Hood, Bronte, Burns, and Gibran here share their words, thoughts and visions with us.
