Revue de presse :
Lawrence's intense and personal account of the Arab Revolt that culminated in the disastrous redrawing of Middle Eastern boundaries is especially fascinating given the continuing troubled state of affairs there. McMillan voices Lawrence, half medieval knight, half clear-eyed chronicler, with utter conviction. --Christina Hardyment, The Times
Almost a century after the first Arab spring the 1916-18 revolt against the Ottoman empire, culminating in the triumphant capture of Damascus modern Arabia is still a war zone. More than half the articles in my latest Talking Newspapers Digest are about the Middle East what better reason to listen to a new unabridged version of this monumental account of the author's leading role in that earlier historic desert campaign, which made him one of the great legendary heroes of all time. --Sue Arnold, The Guardian
Known to most as Lawrence of Arabia, T.E. Lawrence was a passionate chronicler of Middle East military events during WWI, in which he was embedded. This book is his story. Narrator Roy McMillan conveys Lawrence's sincerity with a calm yet enthusiastic delivery, depicting a man fascinated with the world around him. Through McMillan's compassionate reading we can better understand how Lawrence found sympathy for the Arab cause of an Arab state at a time when the region was mostly tribal. Those seeking a wider understanding of the Middle East will be enlightened by Lawrence's observations of the land and its people during this pivotal development period. --F.T., AudioFile

In his classic book, T.E. Lawrence—forever known as Lawrence of Arabia—recounts his role in the origin of the modern Arab world. At first a shy Oxford scholar and archaeologist with a facility for languages, he joined and went on to lead the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Turks while the rest of the world was enmeshed in World War I. With its richly detailed evocation of the land and the people Lawrence passionately believed in, its incisive portraits of key players, from Faisal ibn Hussein, the future Hashemite king of Syria and Iraq, to General Sir Edmund Allenby and other members of the British imperial forces, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom is an indispensible primary historical source. It helps us to understand today’s Middle East, while giving us thrilling accounts of military exploits (including the liberation of Aqaba and Damascus), clandestine activities, and human foibles.

Description du livre Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Stroud. Nonsuch Publishing/Tempus Publishing Group. 2006. Soft Covers. Medium 8vo 9½" x 6 [24cm x 15cm] approx. 458pp. Black and white frontis and further black and white photographic reproductions in the text. Bottom corner and first few pages have a crease but there is no other wear.Thrilling adventures of this enigmatic intrepid soldier, intermediary and poet. When this book was first published in 1922, it was immediately recognized as a literary masterpiece. In writing his extraordinary account of the Arab Revolt of 1916-1918 and his own role in it, T.E. Lawrence sealed his place in history and legend as Lawrence of Arabia. Widely regarded as the last great romantic war story, it conveys a world of wonders, written in the same committed fashion that Lawrence applied to his duties in Syria. This is a towering achievement of both autobiography and military history, as well as a first-rate adventure story. Scarce edition. The wraps will be covered with a 100 micron inert archival protective jacket which is removable. N° de réf. du vendeur YR3AUG3024
