In the year 1878 I took my degree of Doctor of Medicine of the University of London, and proceeded to Netley to go through the course prescribed for surgeons in the army. Having completed my studies there, I was duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as Assistant Surgeon. The regiment was stationed in India at the time, and before I could join it, the second Afghan war had broken out. On landing at Bombay, I learned that my corps had advanced through the passes, and was already deep in the enemy's country. I followed, however, with many other officers who were in the same situation as myself, and succeeded in reaching Candahar in safety, where I found my regiment, and at once entered upon my new duties.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Orientalistik / Sinologie - Islamwissenschaft, Note: 2,3, Universität zu Köln (Orientalisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Arabische Literatur, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit thematisiert das Leben und die Werke des libanesischen Autors und Künstlers Ǧibrān Halīl Ǧibrān, dessen Lebenswerk es war, die westliche Welt mit der Arabischen zu versöhnen. Das Thema der Versöhnung ist heute von besonderem Interesse, da in diesen Tagen der Konflikt zwischen West und Ost, Christentum und Islam größer und dramatischer erscheint denn je. Zunächst wird auf die Biographie Ǧibrāns eingegangen, über seine Jugend berichtet und seine darauffolgende Zeit in den USA sowie in Paris. In diesem Teil wird deutlich, dass Ǧibrān die Welt aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln kennengelernt hat, sodass er auf jahrelange Erfahrung aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen und Regionen zurückblicken konnte. Im zweiten und dritten Kapitel werden seine religiösen und politischen Ansichten aufgezeigt und somit auf seinen Hintergrund eingegangen, da dies essentiell ist für das Verständnis sowohl seiner literarischen als auch künstlerischen Werke. Im vierten Kapitel geht es um die erste Hälfte seines Lebenswerks, nämlich der Schaffung diverser Kunstwerke und Portraits, unter anderem auch von bekannten Persönlichkeiten wie Carl Jung und ʿAbd al-Bahāʾ. Dies spielte in seinem Leben für ihn eine große Rolle, möglicherweise sogar noch eine größere als die Literatur. Daran schließt sich das fünfte Kapitel an, welches das Augenmerk auf sein literarisches Schaffen legt. Drei Unterkapitel zeigen beispielhaft die Werke „The Prophet“, „The Madman“ und „The Wanderer“ und beschreiben diese in Kürze. Darauffolgend wird im sechsten Kapitel das Gedicht „Von der Vernunft und der Leidenschaft“, ein Ausschnitt aus Ǧibrāns vermutlich bekanntestem Werk „The Prophet“, analysiert und interpretiert. Abschließend wird darauf eingegangen, auf welche Art und Weise Ǧibrān geehrt wurde, seine Auszeichnungen sowie seine Denkmäler und auch Institutionen, die aufgrund seines Lebenswerks gegründet wurden. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, einen außergewöhnlichen Mann vorzustellen, der es verstand, viele Menschen mit seinen symbolträchtigen Aussagen zu berühren und zu inspirieren.
