Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Opis produktu:

Although `continually and bitterly ashamed` that the Arabs had risen in revolt against the Turks as a result of fraudulent British promises of self-rule, Lawrence led them in a triumphant campaign which revolutionized the art of war.

Seven Pillars of Wisdom recreates epic events with extraordinary vividness. In the words of E. M. Forster, `Round this tent-pole of a military chronicle, T. E. has hung an unexampled fabric of portraits, descriptions, philosophies, emotions, adventures, dreams`. However flawed, Lawrence is one of the twentieth century`s most fascinating figures. This is the greatest monument to his character and achievements.
