Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Paperback Edition Stated. 357 Pages. This is a used copy of a December 2014 Print On Demand (POD) edition in As New condition. Interior text pages are flawless. The print is small font reducing the size of the book. There are 122 chapters. This is the autobiographical account of the experiences of British soldier T. E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia, while serving with rebel forces during the Arabian Revolt against the Ottoman Turks. The extraordinary breadth and variety of his activities and associations, and his ability to describe them vividly in writing, earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia, a title popularized by the 1962 film based on his life. This book has been called a novel traveling under the cover of autobiography, capturing Lawrence's highly personal and exciting version of the historical events described in the book. It 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 a complex work of high literary aspiration that some have said stands in the tradition of Melville and Dostoevsky, and alongside the writings o Yeats, Eliot and Joyce.

Text slightly darkened, slight wear and small creases to cover edges. Thomas Edward Lawrence, CB, DSO (16 August 1888 - 19 May 1935) was a British archaeologist, military officer, diplomat, and writer. He was renowned for his liaison role during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign and the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. The breadth and variety of his activities and associations, and his ability to describe them vividly in writing, earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia-a title used for the 1962 film based on his wartime activities. Soon after the outbreak of war he volunteered for the British Army and was stationed in Egypt. In 1916, he was sent to Arabia on an intelligence mission and quickly became involved with the Arab Revolt, serving, along with other British officers, as a liaison to the Arab forces. Working closely with Emir Faisal, a leader of the revolt, he participated in and sometimes led military activities against the Ottoman armed forces, culminating in the capture of Damascus in October 1918. After the war, Lawrence joined the Foreign Office, working with both the British government and with Faisal. In 1922, he retreated from public life and spent the years until 1935 serving as an enlisted man, mostly in the Royal Air Force, with a brief stint in the Army. During this time, he wrote and published his best-known work, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, an autobiographical account of his participation in the Arab Revolt. Seven Pillars of Wisdom is the autobiographical account of the experiences of British soldier T. E. Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia"), while serving as a liaison officer with rebel forces during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks of 1916 to 1918.It was completed in February 1922, but first published in December 1926. The title comes from the Book of Proverbs[2] (Proverbs 9:1): "Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars" (King James Version). Prior to the First World War, Lawrence had begun work on a scholarly book about seven great cities of the Middle East, to be titled Seven Pillars of Wisdom. When war broke out, it was still incomplete and Lawrence stated that he ultimately destroyed the manuscript although he remained keen on using his original title Seven Pillars of Wisdom for his later work. The book had to be rewritten three times, once following the loss of the manuscript on a train at Reading. From Seven Pillars, ".and then lost all but the Introduction and drafts of Books 9 and 10 at Reading Station, while changing trains. This was about Christmas, 1919." (p. 21) Seven Pillars of Wisdom is a biographical account of his experiences during the Arab Revolt of 1916-18, when Lawrence was based in Wadi Rum (now a part of Jordan) as a member of the British Forces of North Africa. With the support of Emir Faisal and his tribesmen, he helped organize and carry out attacks on the Ottoman forces from Aqaba in the south to Damascus in the north. Many sites inside the Wadi Rum area have been named after Lawrence to attract tourists, although there is little or no evidence connecting him to any of these places, including the rock formations near the entrance now known as "The Seven Pillars". Lawrence kept extensive notes throughout the course of his involvement in the Revolt. He began work on a clean narrative in the first half of 1919 while in Paris for the Peace Conference and, later that summer, while back in Egypt. By December 1919, he had a fair draft of most of the ten books that make up the Seven Pillars of Wisdom but lost it (except for the introduction and final two books) when he misplaced his briefcase while changing trains at Reading railway station. In early 1920, Lawrence set about the daunting task of rewriting as much as he could remember of the first version. Working from memory alone (he had destroyed many of his wartime notes upon completion of the correspond.

Book First Edition
Condition: Wie neu. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 373 (3) Seiten. Mit einer Karte. Umschlagentwurf: Eberhard G. Rensch. Guter Zustand. Lawrence' grandioser Bericht über den arabischen Freiheitskampf ist ein Glanzstück der europäischen Literatur und diente auch Frank Herbert als Inspirationsquelle für sein Sci-Fi-Epos »Dune - Der Wüstenplanet«. - Im Frühjahr 1952 kamen nach langer Planung endlich die ersten sechs Bände der neuen >Fischer Bücherei auf den Markt, die ersten Taschenbücher nach amerikanischem Vorbild. Die Bände erschienen in einer für heutige Verhältnisse bemerkenswert hohen Auflage von 50.000 Exemplaren. Der erste Titel war bereits bei seiner Auslieferung allein durch Vorbestellungen nahezu ausverkauft, Stefan Zweigs >FoucheFischers Bibliothek zeitgenössischer Romane< mit den Worten startete: "(.) es hat sich gezeigt, daß dem literarischen Produkt ein neuer großer Abnehmerkreis eröffnet werden kann, die breite Masse. Die Entwicklung drängt also auf das billige Buch hin." Und so forderte schon er folgerichtig "das Buch zum billigen Einheitspreis". Die Menschen im Nachkriegsdeutschland hatten einen enormen Nachholbedarf an literarischen und wissenschaftlichen Titeln. Nach langen Jahren der geistigen Isolation in Nazi-Deutschland wollten sie wieder Anschluss finden an die großen gesellschaftlichen Diskussionen und an den Stand der Entwicklungen. - Dies ist die wahre Heldengeschichte eines außergewöhnlichen Mannes, T. E. Lawrence. Sein leidenschaftlicher Einsatz für seine Ideale und sein unerschrockener Mut haben ihm seinen Platz in der Geschichte gesichert: Als der legendäre Lawrence von Arabien. Er einte die arabischen Stämme und trieb sie zu einem Aufstand gegen das übermächtige Osmanische Reich. Dieses Buch in seinen eigenen Worten beschreibt die reichen Facetten einer ebenso faszinierenden wie irritierenden Persönlichkeit. Wir lesen eine fulminante und fesselnde Abenteuergeschichte, ein Historienroman vor realem Hintergrund. - Thomas Edward Lawrence (* 16. August 1888 in Tremadoc, Wales; 19. Mai 1935 in Clouds Hill, England), bekannt als Lawrence von Arabien, war britischer Archäologe, Geheimagent und Schriftsteller. Bekannt wurde Lawrence vor allem durch seine Beteiligung an dem von den Briten forcierten Aufstand der Araber gegen das Osmanische Reich während des Ersten Weltkrieges. . Erster Weltkrieg und Arabische Revolte: Nach dem Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges und dem Kriegseintritt des Osmanischen Reiches gehörte Lawrence seit Dezember 1914 dem britischen Nachrichtendienst in Kairo an. Im Juni des Jahres 1916 zettelte Scherif Hussein, der Emir von Mekka, mit seinen Söhnen einen Aufstand auf der arabischen Halbinsel gegen den osmanischen Sultan an. Scherif Hussein wurde von den Briten mit Geld und Militärberatern unterstützt. Aufgrund seiner Orts- und Sprachkenntnisse wurde Leutnant Lawrence als Verbindungsmann ausgewählt und an den Ort des Geschehens gesandt. Rasch avancierte er zu einer der Schlüsselfiguren des arabischen Unabhängigkeitskampfes, nicht zuletzt durch einen engen, von gegenseitigem Respekt getragenen Kontakt zu Faisal I., einem der Söhne des Emirs. Lawrence, der über keine besondere Militärerfahrung verfügte, übernahm Taktiken des Guerillakrieges, da die schlecht organisierten Beduinen für offene Feldschlachten zu schwach waren. Bereits vor Lawrence' Eintreffen wurden solche Taktiken diskutiert, sodass er keineswegs als alleiniger Urheber gelten kann. Dieser Krieg beschränkte sich im Wesentlichen auf Überraschungsangriffe auf kleinere osmanische Militärposten und Sprengstoffanschläge auf die Hedschasbahn, einer Eisenbahnlinie von Damaskus bis Medina sowie auf Anschläge auf die Wasserversorgung am Jamur. Diese Nadelstichaktionen schwächten und demoralisierten die osmanische Armee nachhaltig und führten im Juli 1917 zur Einnahme der Hafenstadt Akaba. Der vorherigen Eroberung von Al Wajh im Januar 1917, der Hafenstadt auf halbem Wege nach Akaba, kam dabei eine entscheidende Bedeutung zu - sie wurde zum Wendepunkt im Feldzug gegen die Osmanen unter Cemal Pascha. Lawrence ließ nach seinem Eintreffen Al Wajh zum Hauptstützpunkt für Faisal I. ausbauen. Am 1. Oktober 1918 fiel Damaskus an die arabischen Rebellen, am gleichen Tag marschierten auch die britischen Streitkräfte in die Stadt ein. Nach dem Waffenstillstand zog sich Lawrence, seelisch und körperlich erschöpft, aus seiner Sonderrolle bei den Arabern zurück. Ihn plagten schwere Schuldgefühle, hatte er doch die ganze Zeit über gewusst, dass der nördliche arabische Raum nach dem Krieg gemäß dem geheimen Sykes-Picot-Abkommen von 1916 in britische und französische Einflusszonen aufgeteilt werden sollte. . Zu einem Klassiker wurde das bildmächtige Wüstenepos Lawrence von Arabien von David Lean aus dem Jahr 1962 mit Peter O Toole in der Hauptrolle, Alec Guinness als Faisal, sowie Anthony Quinn und Omar Sharif. Der Film erhielt sieben Oscars und war für drei weitere nominiert. Der Film bindet die Legende Lawrence von Arabien" in das historische Umfeld ein, stellt aber gleichzeitig eine freie Bearbeitung sowohl von Lawrence' Bericht als auch der historischen Ereignisse dar. .
