Kahlil Gibran's first novel in Arabic, written in New York and published in 1912, is a short, lyrical story of love and sorrow in Beirut. A young man falls in love with Salma Karamy, the daughter of an old friend of his father's, in a city where wealth and the Church decide whom a girl may marry. Its eleven brief chapters made Gibran's name among readers of Arabic.

Summary written with Claude Sonnet 5.5.
