Sobre este artículo
London: Jonathan Cape, 1927. First Edition, fifth impression, published less than two months after the first printing. There were multiple printings of the first edition within weeks of the first. With 16 black and white illustrations, large folding map at rear. Tall 8vo, publisher's original tan polished buckram lettered in gilt on spine, [2], 446 pp. A handsome copy, with little evidence of use or wear. A SCARCE EARLY ISSUE OF THE FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK BY LAWRENCE. This is the first publicly issued text of SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM prepared by Lawrence after the private printing of that book and edited by him for the general trade. Jonathan Cape had planned a new edition of REVOLT IN THE DESERT to come out after Lawrence death, but Lawrence’s estate permitted instead the printing of the trade edition of the full text of SEVEN PILLARS instead. Thus, the work in this form was obtainable for only a very brief period of time.
