A propos de cet article

Early Printing to coincide with the publication of the first trade edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom in the same year. Illustrated with four full-page maps as in the first edition. 8vo, publisher's original gray cloth, the spine and upper cover lettered in black. 288, [20 ads.] pp. A very well preserved copy, bright and clean with a little mellowing to the spine panel, the binding tight and the text-block sound. SCARCE IN ORIGINAL CLOTH IN PLEASING CONDITION. "A full and intimate account of Lawrence’s life and adventures. It is simply written and is interesting for the new light it throws on his character and guiding motives. It fills up the puzzling gaps left by A REVOLT IN THE DESERT and gives much remarkable and authentic history not even contained in THE SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM, the famous privately-owned quarto of which REVOLT IN THE DESERT is an abridgement" The maps are important as they provide clarity to understanding the area considered Arab at the time, the movements of Lawrence and the Arabs, the ride to Akaba, Lawrence's rides across the Arab area, and the campaign of the Arab revolt in the north and allow the reader to witness the path of the Arab revolt that Lawrence led with Feisal and the other Arab leaders. By this writing, Lawrence had a plethora of nominal identities. The name "Lawrence" had been discarded in favor of "Shaw," though "Ross" was also commonly used. Both had been chosen at random for their shortness and late placement in the alphabet (Lawrence avoided the right of an alphabetical army line). He was called "Aurans" or "Lurens" by the Arabs, but most popular was his nickname "Emir Dinamit," meaning "Prince Dynamite," awarded to him for his boundless energy and methodology of war. Most popularly, he was referred to as "Lawrence of Arabia," a name which he loathed both for its length and its tendency to inspire awe-stricken hero worship which made him uncomfortable to the point of feeling physically unclean. This early biography attempts to pin down the elusive man behind the myth and was written by a personal friend of Lawrence, the one he trusted the most to write an account of his Arabian adventures.…
