First published for general circulation in 1935, Seven Pillars of Wisdom is T. E. Lawrence’s monumental autobiographical account of the Arab Revolt during the First World War. Part memoir, part military history, part literary epic, the work stands as one of the most influential war narratives of the twentieth century.
This edition was published by Doubleday, Doran & Company and includes illustrated plates, including Lawrence’s iconic portrait. The text reflects Lawrence’s highly stylized prose—introspective, political, and often psychologically intense—marking the book as much a literary achievement as a historical one.
A solid copy suitable for collectors of military history, Middle Eastern history, or early twentieth-century literature.
