Lyrical and dynamic, free from the rhetorical flourishes common in traditional Middle Eastern literature, Kahlil Gibrans early short stories, prose poems, and vignettesall written in Arabicmade a profound impact on his fellow immigrants in America and on his fellow writers in his native region long before The Prophet made him a best-selling English author in 1923. Now White Cloud Press has launched a series of contemporary translationsdesigned to replace the generally inaccurate ones issued after his death in 1931of Gibrans most significant work.

Book Description
In BROKEN WINGS, Kahlil Gibran uncovers the glory and pain of young love. This loosely autobiographical story is in the tradition of "Romeo and Juliet," but with Gibran's characteristic lush Oriental settings and images.
A young Kahlil is introduced to Faris Karama, a wealthy merchant and falls in love with Salma, Karama's daughter. But a powerful priest seeks the Karama fortune and demands that his nephew marry Salma.
BROKEN WINGS is a deeply moving love story that explores the spiritual theme of the meaning of human existence in a world that contains profound beauty and love amidst the stains of greed and pains of suffering.
