LAWRENCE (T.E.)
Seven Pillars of Wisdom. A Triumph.
Very good, spine slightly faded and worn at the very extremities, but far better than is often encountered.
T.E. Lawrence’s literary masterpiece, described by Winston Churchill as ‘… unsurpassable. It ranks with the greatest books ever written in the English language’. The story is unutterably romantic - the young and mysterious Englishman fights a fast, mobile and effective war alongside noble Arab chiefs in the heat of the desert - and it made a powerful contrast with the mud, trenches, cold and futility of the western front. In short, in a war with few heroes, Lawrence stood alone for the power of the individual.
