In "The Broken Wings", the Lebanese poet-philosopher reveals the same artistry and wisdom that have enshrined his name in the hearts of millions as an "Immortal Prophet" and a "Dante of the Twentieth Century". <P>This is the exquisitely tender story of a love that beats desperately against the taboos of Oriental tradition. With great sensitivity and lyricism, Gibran describes his passion as a youth for Selma Karamy, the beautiful 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. <P>Portraying the exalted happiness and infinite sorrow of his relationship with Selma, Gibran at the same time probes the spiritual meaning of human existence with profound compassion. And he does so in a poetic prose that has magic and majesty. 1676536 book 1912 The Broken Wings total:667|5:225|4:227|3:167|2:33|1:15| 667 2615 920 74 2 1 false false Sun May 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 20:12:37 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 18:02:39 -0700 2009 أو لا يكتمل كالفراشة التي لم يخرج جناحهاالأيمن من الشرنقه
