Beschreibung

The second impression of T. E. Lawrence's classic war memoir, a lovely copy. The second impression of this work in the same month as the first. Also published in a limited edition in the same year.The first edition ofPillars of Wisdompublished for the general public in Lawrence's lifetime. Despite the literary merit of his classic autobiographical account, producing the Subscribers' Edition only had left Lawrence facing bankruptcy; this forced him to produce this pruned version for sale to the general public, and was an immediate success.A fascinating first-hand account telling of Lawrence's experiences in the British Army while serving as a military advisor to Bedouin forces during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire.Illustrated with a frontispiece and further full page plates, complete with folding map to rear. In the original publisher's full cloth binding. Externally lovely with minor shelf wear only, light bumping to head and tail of spine. Previous ownership inscription to front free endpaper, undated. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 847A1
