The Boy With Wings is a novel written by Berta Ruck and first published in 1915. The story follows the life of a young boy named Peter who is born with wings. Peter's mother dies in childbirth, leaving him in the care of his father, who is a scientist. Peter's father is determined to find a way to remove his son's wings and make him normal. As Peter grows up, he struggles to come to terms with his unique condition and the constant rejection he faces from society. He eventually meets a group of people who accept him for who he is and helps him to embrace his wings. The novel explores themes of acceptance, identity, and the importance of being true to oneself. It also raises questions about the limits of science and the dangers of trying to force conformity on individuals who are different. Overall, The Boy With Wings is a thought-provoking and heartwarming tale that encourages readers to celebrate diversity and embrace their own unique qualities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
