Soon after publication of the original Arabic of Spirits Rebellious at the turn of the century, considerable agitation and intrigue developed. The book was publicly burned in the Beirut marketplace by furious church and state officials who adjudged it poisonous, and fiercely dangerous to the peace of the country. Lebanon was then suffering virtual slavery under oppressive Turkish rule. Gibran's bitter denunciation of both religious and political injustice prevailing at the time brought also his anticipated exile from the country and excommunication from the church, although his parents were staunch Maronites. It was the story Khalil the Heretic, in particular, which drove the Sultan and his Emirs into trepidation, and caused nervous authorities in the entire Middle and Near East to examine into their governments.

Autorenporträt
Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931), a Lebanese-American writer, poet, and visual artist, is best known for his groundbreaking book The Prophet, published in 1923. This profound work of prose poetry has been translated into over one hundred languages and has become one of the most widely read books in literary history, selling millions of copies worldwide. Beyond his most famous publication, Gibran wrote nine books in Arabic and eight in English, exploring deep themes of spirituality, love, and human experience. As a key member of the New York-based Pen League and a significant cultural figure, he is considered the third best-selling poet of all time, behind only Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to inspire readers across generations.
