Sobre este artículo
Lawrence of Arabia produced his own abridgement of his life story, Seven Pillars. This is it. The text dates from 1919, when the fate of the Arabic-speaking parts of the Turkish Empire was undecided. From Egypt to Iraq, the Arabs were dominant, within the Turkish realm.
Lawrence wrote well, with panache. His writings helped create the legend of his valor that endured throughout the century.
As a fighter for the British Empire, his mission was to defeat the Turks and, in the end, to break up their dominion. As a result, we have today the divisions found in Palestine and Iraq, the legacy of British imperialism.
Revolt in the Desert gives the reader a good sense of how Lawrence fomented rebellion, in his own words. Concrete and vivid narrative is matched by strong prose and description. This is a first-person adventure story, based on fact. In the end, the effect was long term. Lawrence promoted Arab self-awareness, militarism, and revolution, a trend that continues to the present.
This is a collector's edition, with fine printing and binding. The rigid sleeve cover bears a drawing of the Arabs and their camels. Maps and sketches are provided throughout. The photographs are by T.E. Lawrence himself and others. The Introduction is by Raleigh Trevelyan.
Set in 11 pt Bembo spaced one point by Deltatype, Ellesmere Port and printed by The Bath Press on Wentworth Opaque paper. Bound by The Bath Press in Ernstmeier Buchleinen Mattleinen cloth, printed with a sketch by Edward Bawden.
