A poetic and philosophical novella, The Broken Wings presents a tragic tale of love thwarted by societal constraint and spiritual awakening. Kahlil Gibran chronicles the doomed romance between Selma Karamy and the unnamed narrator, set in turn-of-the-century Beirut, where patriarchal authority and religious hypocrisy crush individual desire. The narrative argues for the sanctity of love and the soul’s transcendence over earthly suffering, illustrating Gibran’s enduring themes of beauty, loss, and divine justice. His lyrical prose elevates the story into a meditation on freedom, sacrifice, and the moral cost of obedience.
