Travels in Arabia Deserta, originally published in 1888, is a two-volume set which describes English poet Charles Doughty's extensive travels through the Arabian deserts and the discoveries he made there. The work became well-regarded for its beautiful prose as well as its extensiveness, which made it a benchmark of ambitious travel writing in the early 20th century. Written in the style of the King James Bible, the text is extravagant and creative. In the 1920's, it was discovered by British Army Officer T. E. Lawrence, who spurred the book's republication, this time with an introduction from Lawrence. The Lawrence introduction , as well as accounts of Doughty's treks to Mecca, Ammon and Moab, the Mountain of Edom, Arabia, the Passage of the Harra, Teyma, and more. He also describes nomad life in the desert and ancient stories, peoples, and myths connected with his travels. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

Ajouter au panierHardcover. First and limited edition. This is the subscriber's limited first edition of T. E. Lawrence's Correspondence with the Political Elite, spanning 1922-1935. This volume is a vital and much-anticipated installment in the T. E. Lawrence Letters series published by Castle Hill Press, the premier editors and fine press publ…ishers of material by and about T. E. Lawrence headed by Lawrence's official biographer, Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017). The edition is limited to a total of 427 copies. This copy features the publisher's quarter white linen over gray-paper covered boards, the spine featuring a dark gray Morocco goatskin spine label gilt-stamped with author and title. The contents are bound with yellow silk head and tail bands and feature dark gray-stained top edges, illustrated endpapers, and a tipped-on frontispiece illustration of Lionel Curtis by Augustus John. This copy is hand-numbered "231" on the limitation page. Condition is fine, the binding and contents pristine. T. E. Lawrence (1888-1935) achieved fame from his remarkable odyssey as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, which he began as an eccentric junior intelligence officer, ended as "Lawrence of Arabia," and recounted in his magnum opus, Seven Pillars of Wisdom.But Lawrence's literary and intellectual reach far exceeded the world and words ofSeven Pillars of Wisdom and included engaging facility as a prolific correspondent.From the publisher: "Many of T.E. Lawrence's contemporaries found it incomprehensible that, while serving in the ranks as Aircraftman T. E. Shaw, he should remain on friendly terms with members of the political elite, some of whom he had known while advising Winston Churchill in the Colonial Office. There was surely a contradiction between these continuing relationships and his rejection of social status." Among the letters published herein are ten from Lawrence to his friend and admirer Winston Churchill, spanning 1922-1935, as well as Lawrence's inscription in Churchill's copy of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, a 1927 letter from Churchill to Lawrence, and correspondence with Eddie Marsh, Churchill's longtime private secretary. Churchill said of his friend: "Lawrence had a full measure of the versatility of geniusHe was a savant as well as a soldier.He was an archaeologist as well as a man of action.He was an accomplished scholar as well as an Arab partisan. He was a mechanic as well as a philosopher.His background of somber experience and reflection only seemed to set forth more brightly the charm and gaiety of his companionship, and the generous majesty of his nature."(Great Contemporaries, p.166) Much of Lawrence's polymath genius scintillates in this correspondence volume. "The correspondents (in alphabetical order) are Nancy Astor, Tory MP for Plymouth Sutton; John Buchan, writer and Unionist MP for the Combined Scottish Universities; Winston Churchill and his Private Secretary Edward Marsh; Lionel Curtis, Fellow of All Souls, editor of the Round Table, and one of the founding organisers of the Royal Institute of International Affairs; Geoffrey Dawson, Fellow of All Souls and Editor of The Times; Lord Lothian, Cabinet Minister; and Ernest Thurtle, the Labour MP for Shoreditch who was responsible, with Lawrence's help, for the abolition of the death penalty for cowardice in the British Army. There are strong contrasts here, for example between the light-hearted letters to Nancy Astor (reminiscent in tone to those he had written to E.T. Leeds before the war), and the deeply introspective letters to Lionel Curtis. Here are his letters to Winston Churchill, his former chief at the Colonial Office, together with less formal letters to Eddie Marsh. The letters to Ernest Thurtle hint at his experience manipulating the political machine. Given the circumstances and the personalities involved, the collection is extraordinary - as are the public tributes paid to Lawrence after his death.".

Ajouter au panierHardcover. First and Limited edition. This is a strikingly beautiful book about one of the 20th century's most strikingly beautiful books. In 1932, T. E. Lawrence published a translation of Homer's Odyssey. Illustrated by celebrated American typographer and type designer Bruce Rogers (1870-1957), Lawrence's Odyssey was a masterp…iece, an aesthetically magnificent book and a highly regarded translation. This volume brings together letters about the translation and publication of the 1932 Bruce Rogers Odyssey. The publisher of this limited edition was Castle Hill Press, the premier editors and fine press publishers of material by and about T. E. Lawrence, founded by Lawrence's official biographer, Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017). Of a total edition printed for subscribers limited to 377 copies, 250 copies were bound thus in either full or quarter cloth. This copy is hand-numbered "238" on the limitation page. The binding features a quarter cloth spine in oatmeal-colored linen over yellow-gold paper-covered boards with a gilt-stamped tan-orange Morocco goatskin spine label. The illustrated contents are bound with yellow-gold silk head and tail bands, yellow topstain, and fine endpapers illustrated with a gilt medallion portrait of Homer with his lyre. This copy was acquired by us directly from the publisher and is in as new condition, unread and immaculately clean, inside and out.From the publisher: "Lawrence's translation has been continuously in print for more than 80 years. By that yardstick it is second only to Seven Pillars of Wisdom among his literary achievements. The money the translation earned proved extremely useful to him. It meant that, despite the economic constraints of the early 1930s, he was able to turn his Dorset cottage 'Clouds Hill' into a home fit to live in when he retired from the RAF. Bruce Rogers was one of the most distinguished typographers and book designers of his time. The 1932 Odyssey is one of his finest works, ranked among the most beautiful books produced in the 20th century. Bruce Rogers also designed two subsequent trade editions of the translation. The 1932 first edition was co-published by Emery Walker. It was one of the last major works printed by Emery Walker Ltd while he was still actively involved in the company. In 1888, the year of Lawrence's birth, it was Walker who inspired William Morris to found the Kelmscott Press. Morris in turn had inspired both Lawrence and Bruce Rogers to become interested in fine printing. In a sense, their magnificent 1932 Odyssey brought the story full circle. For Lawrence, Rogers and Walker were living legends.".

Hailed by Lawrence scholars, "publication of four expertly edited volumes of Lawrence's correspondence with Bernard and Charlotte Shaw has. dramatically enriched our knowledge of what Lawrence w…as thinking and doing from 1922 to 1935, and also arouses, in any objective reader, considerable sympathy for him." These comprise the first volumes in the T. E. Lawrence Letters series published by Castle Hill Press, once the premier editors and fine press publishers of material by and about T. E. Lawrence, headed by Lawrence's official biographer, Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017).This set features quarter oatmeal cloth bindings over green paper-covered boards with deep green Morocco spine panels stamped in gilt with author, title, and volume number. The contents are bound with white and green silk head and tail bands, green-stained top edges, and tan endpapers. This set is hand-numbered "347" on the Volume IV limitation statement. We acquired this set directly from the publisher. Condition is as new, the bindings and contents pristine. Published between 2000 and 2009, these four volumes are the only complete publication of these letters. Castle Hill Press originally planned to issue 702 sets, but ultimately issued only 475, explaining disparity between the limitation statements in the first and final volumes. Limitation numbers appear only in the fourth and final volume issued to original subscribers. Of the 475 sets, the publisher informed us "150 sets were bound in quarter cloth."T. E. Lawrence (1888-1935) found fame as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, which he began as an eccentric junior intelligence officer and ended as "Lawrence of Arabia."Lawrence spent the rest of his famously short life struggling at turns to reconcile, recount, and repress his indelible experience and celebrity. Lawrence first met George Bernard (1856-1950) and Charlotte Payne-Townshend Shaw (1857-1943) in March 1922. Lawrence was in a state of nervous exhaustion following the First World War, his work on the post-war settlement, and writing and re-writing Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Thereafter, the Shaws played an integral role in Lawrence's literary and personal life. In George Bernard Shaw - "the unorthodox, testy, argumentative agent provocateur and gadfly of British life and conventions" - perhaps Lawrence recognized someone whose persona had overtaken the man. In Charlotte Shaw, Lawrence found "a kind of alternate mother figure" and a lifelong correspondent and confidante. Suggesting the complex importance of the Shaws to Lawrence, by early 1923 Lawrence had enlisted in the Army under the name "Thomas Edward Shaw." He used, and published under, this assumed surname until his death. With her revulsion toward physical intimacy, Charlotte was perhaps uniquely suited to understand Lawrence's complex feelings of mortification over the infamous incident at Deraa. "Lawrence was more frank about himself with her than with anyone else." For her part, "there was much about herself that Charlotte hid from her husband, including the sheer volume and intimacy of her correspondence with Lawrence. which shocked the normally imperturbable Shaw when he discovered it after her death." (Korda, p.657) Wilson states that Charlotte "preserved almost all the letters she had received [from Lawrence] - over 300, some very long" and she recovered several she had written to Lawrence. "The correspondence adds up to almost twice the total length of his letters to any other recipient. Lawrence's correspondence with the Shaws between 1922 and 1935 is the most significant series of his post-war letters to survive. It covers an extraordinary variety of topics and, for much of the time, the letters were so frequent that they provide something akin to a diary." First, limited, and hand-.
