Explanation To Books The Broken Wings

This is the exquisitely tender story of love that beats desperately against the taboos of Oriental tradition. With great sensitivity, Gibran describes his passion as a youth for Selma Karamy, the girl of Beirut who first unfolded to him the secrets of love. But it is a love that is doomed by a social convention which forces Selma into marriage with another man. Portraying the happiness and infinite sorrow of his relationship with Selma, Gibran at the same time probes the spiritual meaning of human existence with profound compassion. **Lightning Print On Demand Title

Criticism Containing Books The Broken Wings

The beauty of Selmas face was not classic; it was like a dream of revelation which cannot be measured or bound or copied by the brush of a painter, or the chisel of a sculptor.

This shows he was well ahead of his time!

Deeply moving. The man had an ear to the earth.

I've read it last year and I loved it. One of the books that I'll re-read over and over again without getting tired of it just like "Le Petit Prince" or "The Alchemist" these short classics are lifetime companions.

When someone recommended The Broken Wings, I vaguely remembered having read a couple of quotes from Sand and Foam and thinking they were insightful and/or beautiful, so I thought it worth a try. I realize that this is a book from another time and place, but the magniloquence at times made me want to snicker rather than feel the gravitas of tragedy. Maybe you have to be in a certain frame of mind to appreciate it -- like young and in love and feeling an irresistible urge to write poetry that uses
