Essential Gibran
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Dr. Bushrui is the world's top Gibran scholar. He has done justice to Gibran like no other person in history with this thorough biography. He has succeeded in grasping the historical aspects of Gibran's life, and most importantly, the spiritual essence. I have had the luck and pleasure of hearing Dr. Bushrui speak in person and can say he is a truly amazing orator, poet, and scholar. He lived in Lebanon, like Gibran, and has taught at Universities such as Oxford. This mix of eastern and western culture is the pivotal attribute of anyone who desires to truly understand Gibran.
A wonderful presenter, Dr. Bushrui is captivating

Well, I have to admit I have just ordered the book. I haven't read it yet... What I want to share, though, are my impressions from a presentation of Dr. Suheil Bushrui I attended last night. Dr. Bushrui is a man who has the enormous talent to love and inspire. Truly, I envy his students. If the goal of his lecture last night was to inspire more people to read the poetry of Kahlil Gibran, he surely succeeded. He succeeded in sparkling my interest in Arabic poetry and in partucular, the poetry of Kahlil Gibran. More importantly though, he succeeded in making me look at poetry as the point where the truth meets the heart, and at poetry as the path of spirituality to building a world based upon unity in diversity.
