Born in 1883 in Bsharri, Gibran Khalil Gibran immigrated to Boston with his mother, his two sisters Mariana and Sultaneh and his half brother Boutros.
     In 1898, he returns to Lebanon where he spends his summer with his father in his native town in Bsharri and in Winter at the Sagesse College in Beirut where he learns arabic and french.

     In 1902, Gibran returns to Boston. Between 1902 and 1904 his sister Sultaneh
(16 years old) dies and his brother Boutros died of tuberculosis and his mother was carried away by a cancer.
     In 1908, he went to Paris where he improved his artistic techniques and there he meets Rodin.
     In 1910, he left Paris for London where he stayed for a month, before returning to Boston.

     In 1911, he leaves for New York where he will stay until his death on April 10, 1931.
