In Search of a Prophet is a journey through the spiritual life of Kahlil Gibran, the great Lebanese-American poet and author of The Prophet, a book originally published in 1923 that has sold over 10 million copies and been translated into dozens of languages. From Gibran’s birthplace village high in the snowy mountains of Lebanon, Paul-Gordon Chandler leads us through his immigration to Boston, art training in Paris, and career in New York, and to the far-reaching places of influence his writings and art have traveled, alerting readers to Gibran’s continuing relevance for today.

Selected in conjunction with The Drawing Center's exhibition A Greater Beauty: The Drawings of Kahlil Gibran.
