Sinossi
In questa straordinaria opera Lawrence rievoca le sue vicende personali e quelle di un intero popolo, i progetti, le battaglie, gli incontri e i motivi profondi che hanno guidato le sue azioni. Non è solo quindi un libro di memorie di guerra e di avventure esotiche, ma anche e soprattutto di riflessione storica e filosofica. Sulla narrazione prevalgono infatti il senso di poesia, di profonda riflessione sull'animo umano, la contemplazione del fascino e della profondità della cultura orientale, l'ammirazione per un popolo indomito, il fascino e i misteri d'Arabia. I sette pilastri della saggezza è un romanzo dalle molte sfaccettature, ma rimane, soprattutto, uno stupendo racconto epico.

"So, let's see if I got that. Seventeen cappuccinos. Ten black no sugar. Fifteen lattes with sugar. Six espressos. Four double espressos. And nine soya milk pumpkin spice lattes." I joke not. These guys on camels are coffee drinkers. What the film leaves out takes many pages and miles of sand to get to and Leggi tutto
Thomas Edward Lawrence's meticulously written account of his fascinating life during World War I is one of the literary treasures of the Twentieth Century. Lawrence had graduated with honors from Oxford University in 1910. He had a fascination with medieval history, and had traveled as a student to
يتحدث الكتاب عن الثورة العربية ضد تركيا العثمانية، وأول ما يستغرب تسميتها بالثورة العربية.. فحتى قائدها هو لورنس وليس الشريف حسين.. وهو ما صرح به لورنس في كتابه أكثر من مرة مباشرةً أو مواربة، مثل قوله في الصفحة 187: "... خولني أن أصبح في أقل من ستة شهور رجل الثقة التامة في سوريا. مما حملني على أن أق Leggi tutto
