The Broken Wings is a poetic novel written by Kahlil Gibran and first published in Arabic in 1912. It is a tale of tragic love, set in turn-of-the-century Beirut. Evocative, beautifully written and full of stunning imagery, it is also a compelling commentary on the plight of women and many other social issues of the time. About the author: Kahlil Gibran (1887-1931) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer. He is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu. He is chiefly known in the English speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, a series of philosophical essays written in English prose. An early example of 'inspirational fiction', the book sold well and became extremely popular in the 1960s. This English Rose book is a high quality, well formatted edition. English Rose love books and think that every one is special, so our editions will always be distinctive, professional and unique.

Poet, philosopher and artist, Kahlil Gibran was born near Mount Lebanon. The millions of Arabic-speaking peoples familiar with his writings in that language consider him the genius of his age, but his fame and influence spread far beyond the Near East. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages and his drawings and paintings have been exhibited all over the world.

His many works include The Prophet, his masterpiece of religious inspiration; The Garden of the Prophet; The Storm: Stories and Prose Poems; The Beloved: Reflections on the Path of the Heart; Jesus: The Son of Man; The Voice of Kahlil Gibran, an anthology of his writings; The Vision: Reflections on the Way of the Soul; and Spirit Brides. He was for many years the leader of a Lebanese literary circle in New York, where he died in 1931.
