Spirits Rebellious

by Kahlil Gibran

Overview

Soon after the publication of the original Arabic version of "Spirits Rebellious" in 1908, considerable agitation developed. The book was burned publicly in Lebanon and Kahlil Gibran, the author, was forced for an exile. That is, mainly, due to the open question to authority that it contains. "Spirits Rebellious" contains three stories centering around man, religion, law and authority all of which do not just depict the society in the early 1900s but the themes are universal.

There are many questions posed by Gibran in this book. His inquisitive thoughts are very provocative to the mind and conscience.
Gibran shakes you out of the slumber of the societal norms and earthly laws that have held mankind in shackles and ignites your soul with his fire and his rebellion.

About the Author

Khalil Gibran (sometimes spelled Kahlil; full Arabic name Gibran Khalil Gibran (January 6, 1883 - April 10, 1931) was a Lebanese writer, poet and visual artist. Gibran was born in the town of Bsharri in the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire (modern day Lebanon), to Khalil Gibran and Kamila Gibran (Rahmeh). As a young man Gibran emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in both English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.
