Alexandre Najjar, a Lebanese like Khalil Gibran, narrates the extraordinary fate of this rebellious visionary who emancipated Arabic literature and skillfully handled the English language. His character was shaped by family tragedies; yet, always ready to defend his belief in all-encompassing love, Gibran left us a message of peace and hope. "... because he extensively quotes Gibran's correspondence and does not shy away from human weaknesses, Gibran ultimately feels closer to us, despite all the idealization that Najjar also does not escape, than in other biographies." (Andreas Pflitsch) Alexandre Najjar, born in 1967 in Beirut, is an author and lawyer. His literary work includes numerous novels, stories, poems, and non-fiction books, and has received multiple awards.
