Broken Wings

by Kahlil Gibran

Broken Wings (Arabic: الأجنحة المتكسرة, romanized: al-ajniḥa al-mutakassira) is a poetic novel or novella written in Arabic by Kahlil Gibran and first published in 1912 by the printing house of the periodical Meraat-ul-Gharb in New York. It is a tale of tragic love, set at the turn of the 20th century in Beirut. A young woman, Selma Karamy, is betrothed to a prominent religious man's nephew. The protagonist (a young man that Gibran perhaps modeled after himself) falls in love with this woman.
