Abstract:
Born in Lebanon in 1883, Gibran Khalil Gibran emigrated to The United States of America at the age of twelve. Gibran, the child was deeply influenced by the cultural environment of his native land, However, Gibran, the poet and the writer, is an American product, because it is in The United States of America, his adopted land, that he acquired his intellectual formation. Oscillating between prose and poetry, paintings and drawings, the work of Gibran is the expression of an imaginary world of a great originality In the Arab literature, both by the richness ofthe topics as by the innovation ofthe expression. The originality and the richness of the work comes especially from the recourse of Gibran to the inheritance of humanity, its religions and mythologies. Gibranian imaginary world calls upon the study of the poetic images in their evolution and recurrence. The rational language appears inapt to account for the spiritual universe that the poet carried in him, the place of a personally lived adventure. The sacredness of the experience is incommunicable; it can be shared only by the irreducible expressivity of symbols. For that, Gibran called upon the metaphor, the symbol and the parables.
