Al-Ajniha al-Mutakassira (The Broken Wings) is a poetic novel written by Khalil Gibran first published in Arabic in 1912. It is a tale of tragic love, set in turn-of-the-century 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. They begin to meet in secret, however they are discovered, and Selma is forbidden to leave her house, breaking their hopes and hearts. The book highlights many of the social issues of the time in the Eastern Mediterranean, including religious corruption, the rights of women (and lack thereof), and the weighing up of wealth and happiness. Review: Good - Its really good , but the written method from left to right 😂 Like English .. Review: Surprisingly very poor quality print - You'd think printing a 60 pages book is easy until you read this one. Magically somehow they managed to mess it up several ways, The book starts from left to right which is not the correct orientation for Arabic language books, yet the poems are right to left , it makes it unnecessarily confusing. Most importantly, typos, so many of them, grammar, sentences, periods and commas are incorrectly placed which I think its result of Latin orientation. Definitely returning.

wrong book direction
this is an Arabic book, but it is assembled as if it is an English book. The page turning should be from left to right, but in this book it is right to left as if it is an English book!

Deep and Reflective 🧘♀️
It's the usual descriptive and reflective Gibran style. He is more interested in stopping at every detail and reflecting deeply on youth, love, and life than in entertaining the reader with fast moving events and suspense. The kind of book you can just relax to and reflect with the author. So, if you enjoy deep reflection, it's quite soothing.
