The Broken Wings

al-Ajniha al-Mutakassira

Kahlil Gibran · جبران خليل جبران

Gibran's early novella in the original Arabic, complete in 104 pages. The book is imposed to open right to left, so the spine falls where an Arabic reader expects it and the text runs as the language runs. No English anywhere in the volume. Copy-text: Gibran, first edition 1912.

Set in Scheherazade New, a naskh cut for extended reading, with the chapter titles in Aref Ruqaa; the 1912 edition's spelling and guillemets kept. A cased hardcover: the boards are wrapped, not jacketed, so there is nothing to lose.
