About this product

Product Information

As Angus Calder states in his introduction to this edition, 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' is one of the major statements about the fighting experience of the First World War. Lawrence's younger brothers, Frank and Will, had been killed on the Western Front in 1915. Seven Pillars of Wisdom, written between 1919 and 1926, tells of the vastly different campaign against the Turks in the Middle East - one which encompasses gross acts of cruelty and revenge and ends in a welter of stink and corpses in the disgusting 'hospital' in Damascus. 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' is no 'Boys Own Paper' tale of Imperial triumph, but a complex work of high literary aspiration which stands in the tradition of Melville and Dostoevsky, and alongside the writings of Yeats, Eliot and Joyce. AUTHOR: The image of 'Lawrence of Arabia', dressed in white Arab robes astride a camel is a familiar one, propagated by David Lean's film 1962 film, but dating back to American journalist Lowell Thomas's sensationalist account of Lawrence's part in the Arab revolt, and from Lawrence's own autobiographical account 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' which, despite some doubts as to its truth in parts, has been described as 'one of the major statements about the fighting experience of the First World War'.

    The 7 pillars of wisdom by T.E. Lawrence is an excellent book.

    The book 7 pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence is an excellent read. It indicates the complexity of the author in many ways and the fragility of quite an amazing character.

  • Let's Hear It For Lawrence of Arabia

    It is the story through T E Lawrences war against the Turks, who were controlling Arab countries. Sensitive and brilliantly remembered.

  • Compelling and surprisingly current

    Considering the time it was written the comparisons with the peoples and situations in the region are startlingly current. Sometimes the text feels as if it was written yesterday, particularly when describing the relationships between tribal factions.
