Abstract

Gibran Khalil Gibran was born on January 6, 1883, to a Marinate Christian family in Bsharri, Lebanon. He was a great  writer and artist and  became known for his mystical Arabic and English works, earning fame following the 1923 publication of 'The Prophet'. Khalil Gibran moved to the United States in 1895 and was exposed to Boston's artistic community. Initially showing promise as an artist, he also began writing newspaper columns, books in Arabic and short stories, drawing attention for his prose poems. After moving to New York City, Gibran began writing books in English, including his most famous work, The Prophet (1923). The popularity of The Prophet endured well after the author's death in 1931, making him the third-best-selling poet of all time. The aim of this study is to highlight his contribution in the field of Novels and Short Stories. Descriptive and Analytical method is used in this article. At the end, the researchers have drawn various results.
