A propos de cet article

Hardcover Collection An engaging collection of five adventure and historical narratives by Lowell Thomas (1892–1981), the celebrated American journalist, broadcaster, world traveler, and author whose reporting helped introduce T. E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, to an international audience. The dates shown are copyright dates, not the publication date. The Collier editions are believed to date from the early 1940s, but no publication date for the set has been verified. The collection includes: With Lawrence in Arabia (1924): Thomas's celebrated account of T. E. Lawrence and his role in the Arab Revolt during World War I. Illustrated with historical photographs, including images taken by H. A. Chase and Lowell Thomas, the book offers a firsthand journalistic perspective on one of the twentieth century's most legendary military figures. The Wreck of the Dumaru (1930): A harrowing true story of maritime disaster, shipwreck, starvation, and survival. The account follows survivors of the Dumaru through desperate circumstances at sea, including the extraordinary moral and physical challenges associated with cannibalism in an open boat. Illustrated by Kurt Wiese and with photographs. This Side of Hell (1932): The remarkable story of Dan Edwards, a World War I veteran and adventurer whose experiences included severe battlefield injuries and extraordinary acts of courage. Illustrated with photographs and artwork by McClelland Barclay, Hal Phyfe, and others. Pageant of Adventure (1940): A collection of dramatic real-life episodes, extraordinary personalities, aviation exploits, dangerous journeys, and remarkable human achievements. Thomas brings together stories of courage, misfortune, discovery, and the unpredictable nature of adventure. Pageant of Life (1941): A wide-ranging collection of profiles, anecdotes, and observations concerning notable personalities, rulers, artists, adventurers, and everyday human experiences. Subjects range from family life and children to international figures, perilous professions, and unusual incidents. Published by P. F. Collier & Son Corporation, New York, these five volumes feature matching green bindings with decorative front-cover emblems and gilt-and-black spine designs. The collection offers an appealing introduction to the storytelling and international reporting of one of America's most influential twentieth-century journalists. All five books are offered together as one collection. Condition Description: Very Good Attractive five-volume collection in matching green textured hardcover bindings, with decorative front-cover emblems and gilt-and-black spine lettering.

Interior pages are generally clean and unmarked, with no writing, highlighting, or other markings observed. Age-related toning to the page edges and some interior margins.
