Stairs stepped up on the hillside. The legendary Lebanese poet Kahalil Zubran's rocky sculpture welcomed the footsteps. We broke down the stairs to the top. The upper house of the hill above 1,300 feet above the sea level. This is the house of Jibran (1883-1931) house. Now the museum.
In front of the three-story house in front of the courtyard. A beautiful sitting place on a stone bench. Four or five cats welcomed at the bench. The guests of honorable animals seemed to be respected, how much we know them!
Lebanon's three years of living abroad. The month is going to go beyond the month. In any case, I was not going to Jibran's hometown. Finally, the opportunity is November 18. Kahlil Jibron's birthplace in the Bishari area of Lebanon. The route from Beirut to Bishari, about 110 km from Bisari. The way to go is thrilling. The Mediterranean on the left, the mountains on the right. The rugged road on the hillside is like a snake. When we stood under the authors' house, then mid-afternoon.
Tickethouse beside the front of the house. Includes 5 dollars worth of ticketing. We got a book on the condition of returning with the ticket and we got it. All the information about the poet in English is in this book, there are some instructions to visit the museum. According to the instructions we go into the first room. All the authors have been kept in this room. I saw the translation work of his famous book The Prophet. There was some information about the book earlier. The Proft One is one of the world's most searched books.

According to the BBC, this book of Jibran has been translated into almost 50 languages. The books translated into various languages of the world are kept here. Have a look at curiosity, whether there is any book in Bangla or not. Not there. Maybe they did not reach their hands.
There is a national committee for managing the Jibran museum. Jibran National Committee's website was found to know some information. Kahlil Jibran died in 1931, in New York. Then in 1932, the manuscript, 440 paintings and his collected books were brought from the United States in addition to the furniture used by the authors, personal belongings, and the author's birthplace in Lebanon. These museums are built after these collections.
By that time we came to the next room with a tunnel way. Here are some things used by the poet. The poet saw a letter written by his own hand. Written in Arabic and English. Even though the Arabic language could not be acquired, it was not difficult to understand that handwriting is quite beautiful. A leather bag of poet used to be seen. The world-famous poet once roamed about this bag, imagined it was a painting. The long unused bag has a little lost.
The smallest 12 rooms of the three-storey house Almost every room is decorated with Jibran's artwork. What are the beautiful works of art Khalil Jibran was famous for his paintings. I saw the colorspensil used by him. Cutting, the pen is all beautifully arranged. The poet's bed-pillow, chair-table-all are in the museum. He used to write on the table, sitting on the chair, he also arranged beautifully. There is a hookah in the basket. The poet's coffin is arranged in the last room. Dark room
We walked around all the rooms to walk down and down. This is the turn of the farewell. But do not want to say goodbye. Poet, litterateur, philosopher and painter Kahalil Jibran suffers in us. I thought about sitting in the car, this is what I got.
