Beschreibung

A smart first edition of T. E. Lawrence's insightful memoirs of his time as an enlisted man in the Royal Air Force. First edition. When, in 1922, T. E. Lawrence enlisted in the ranks of the R.A.F. under the name of John Hulme Ross, he was in a strange mental and physical state as a result of his experiences in war. Upon the discovery of his true identity, he was discharged. Allowed to re-enlist two years later under the name of Shaw, this is an expurgated collection of his notes during his time serving. Written by T. E. Lawrence, a British archaeologist, army officer, diplomat, and writer who became renowned for his role in the Arab Revolt and the Sinai and Palestine Campaign against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. In the original blue cloth binding. Externally, very smart with light shelf wear and minor bumping to the extremities. Original price-clipped dust wrapper is also very smart with light shelf wear and the odd mark to the board. Sunning to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. Bookseller's label to the front pastedown. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 874T79
