‘The Broken Wings,’ first published in 1912, is a poetic novel written by Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese-American poet, writer, and artist. Gibran's work covers themes such as justice, religion, science, free will, love, happiness, soul, body, and death. He is widely considered as one of the most profound figures in Arabic poetry and literature during the first half of the twentieth century.
