Popular edition, complete text, all illustrations; full color
wrapper by C. Leroy Baldridge. (Kirkus Reviews)
With an Introduction by Angus Calder. As Angus Calder states in his
introduction to this edition, 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom is one of
the major statements about the fighting experience of the First
World War'. Lawrence's younger brothers, Frank and Will, had been
killed on the Western Front in 1915. Seven Pillars of Wisdom,
written between 1919 and 1926, tells of the vastly different
campaign against the Turks in the Middle East - one which
encompasses gross acts of cruelty and revenge and ends in a welter
of stink and corpses in the disgusting 'hospital' in Damascus.
Seven Pillars of Wisdom is no Boys Own Paper tale of Imperial
triumph, but a complex work of high literary aspiration which
stands in the tradition of Melville and Dostoevsky, and alongside
the writings of Yeats, Eliot and Joyce.
