Seven Pillars of Wisdom
Penguin Main Series 1696. 1st Edition, published 1962.
Seven Pillars of Wisdom is the autobiographical account of T.E. Lawrence - also known as 'Lawrence of Arabia' - of his service in the Arab Revolt during the First World War. 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, Lawrence has hung an unexampled fabric of portraits, descriptions, philosophies, emotions, adventures, dreams'.
Condition grading: Good Minus. Some wear and creases to spine. Some foxing, wear and creases to both covers. Minor wear spine ends. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
