Seven Pillars of Wisdom - T E Lawrence - książka
Producent: Wordsworth
In his introduction to this edition, Angus Calder notes that "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" is a significant reflection on the combat experiences of World War I. The author, T.E. Lawrence, faced personal tragedy as his younger brothers, Frank and Will, were killed on the Western Front in 1915. Written between 1919 and 1926, the book describes the markedly different conflict with the Turks in the Middle East—a campaign marked by extreme acts of cruelty and vengeance, culminating in the chaotic and grim conditions of a makeshift 'hospital' in Damascus. Unlike tales of simple Imperial success, "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" is an intricate work with high literary aims, comparable to the works of Melville, Dostoevsky, and figures such as Yeats, Eliot, and Joyce.
