Birds Without Wings is the story of a small town in Anatolia in the dying days of the Ottoman Empire told in the richly varied voices of the men and women (Armenians, Christians, and Muslims) whose lives are intertwined and rooted there: Iskander, the potter and local fount of wisdom; Philotei, the Christian girl of legendary beauty, courted almost from infancy by Ibrahim the goatherd, a great love that culminates in tragedy and madness; and many more.

More than a story
Revisado: 06-16-18
De Bernières captures the soul of humanism in his telling of events before, during, and after WWI from the rarely considered perspective of both non-western and non-powerful actors on the scene. With his graphic descriptions of the atrocities of war (and yes, as other reviewers have commented - it is not for the faint-hearted) and the consequences thereof for regular, peaceful citizens of the world, the author weaves a thought-provoking web that is much, much more than a story.
Yet a story it is and a damn good one, and brilliantly related by the narrator, John Lee.
