This hardcover edition of Kahlil Gibran’s poetic masterpiece “The Broken Wings” offers collectors a glimpse into the Lebanese-American author’s early years. Published in 1912, it was Gibran’s first book written in English and explores themes of love, loss, and spiritual awakening through the story of a young man’s tragic romance. While not as widely known as “The Prophet,” this semi-autobiographical work showcases Gibran’s lyrical prose and profound insights that would later make him an iconic voice of the early 20th century. Beyond its literary merits, the book provides a window into the Lebanese diaspora experience and the cultural exchange between East and West that shaped Gibran’s worldview. This copy, with its well-preserved pages and sturdy binding, invites readers to immerse themselves in a timeless tale that transcends borders and speaks to the universal human condition.
