New notes on Ğubrān’s education in Boston and its effect on his later career

Ğubrān's cultural training in Boston fostered the young Arab immigrant's rapid success. Numerous studies have delved into the main elements and indications that emerged from his writings (on the contribution of Christianity, Nietzsche, and the cultural milieu of the Arab Nahda), while the American education has been little investigated. Here we examine some aspects useful in reconstructing the contribution of Transcendentalism and its epigones in the Boston intellectual milieu.
