Kahlil Gibran was a Lebanese poet, writer and artist. Although he moved to America when he was a teenager, he never lost touch with his Lebanese roots and his books were written in Arabic. His book ‘The Prophet’ published in 1923 is one of the biggest-selling books of all time. When he died, Gibran left all the money from his books to his village Bsharri in Lebanon, where he is buried.
