One of the most renowned Arab “men of letters in exile” (‘udabā’al-mahğar) in his life time, and exceptionally famous post-mortem, Gibran Khalil Gibran (Ğubrān Ḫalīl Ğubrān) was a promoter of change and renewal of the socio-political situations in the Arab world at the beginning of the 20th century. While his effective political engagement has been subject to debate, the militant character of his literary writings is incontestable. This paper focuses on such renewing ideas expressed in Gibran’s correspondence, his literary works, and in some literary essays such as “The New Era” (Al-‘Ahd al-Ğadīd, included in Gibran’s last collection written in Arabic, “The New and the Marvellous” - Al-Badā’i‘ wa-l-Ṭarā’if - published in Egypt, in 1923). As we have now the perspective of about a century past since the publication of these reflections, we are being surprised by how Gibran’s thoughts may be read as if they were put down... today, in the context of the renewal wave now flowing through the Arab lands, with the crucial contribution of their youth.
