«Le ali spezzate» is the novel by Kahlil Gibran, published by Newton & Compton in paperback (94 pages, in Italian).
An early, partly autobiographical work that tells of the impossible love between a young man and a woman married to a rich man in Lebanon. The novel combines poetic and symbolic prose with criticism of social rigidities: desire confronts tradition, loss and the conventions of an oppressive society.
Work originally published in 1912 with the Arabic title «الأجنحة المتكسرة»; this Italian edition belongs to the Tascabili economici Newton collection.
For readers of classic literature and love stories with social and symbolic undertones, especially from Lebanese literature.
Jubrān Khalīl Jubrān, usually referred to in English as Kahlil Gibran, was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist. He was also considered a philosopher, although he himself rejected the title. He is best known as the author of The Prophet, which was first published in the United States in 1923 and has since become one of the best-selling books of all time, having been translated into more than 100 languages.
