not for the faint of heart, Seven Pillars of Wisdom TELawrence course, very serious reader of history, and TE Lawrence, who was, like Peter O'Toole played is known, is also known to cinema lovers. But reading the book was for me a wonderful and humbling experience. I tried to read it as a young man, but without success. This time, gritted my teeth, I opened the first page and I was immediately involved in thought and style.
Coincidentally,Years I have changed. Here is a book to enchant, to teach to reveal. I was not disappointed. The introductory rate offered a clue. What captured me completely, followed :..." For years, we still lived with each other naked in the desert, under the indifferent heaven. By day the hot sun fermented us and we were stunned by the wind flying. Overnight There were those of tau and shame in the pettiness of infinite silence of the stars ... "
At the end of the first section, my futureReading for the next eight weeks has been limited. Lawrence describes the desert to the smallest detail, so you know the differences between the appearance of sand, rocks, water, sunsets, the dew drops, rain, wind, hills and valleys. You know the camels, their loyalty and their ability to cope with difficult conditions.
In Book IX, spoke to the Ghazala, one of his favorite topics camels, Lawrence describes the incident, shortly after his coltdied ... "Abdullah had flayed the small body, wearing the fur behind his saddle ... We are a good start, but after an hour, raised his head and walked Ghazala relentlessly ... I tried to push it, but Abdullah dashed ... next to me jumped out of the saddle, calf leather in his hand. him with a shot from the gravel in front of Ghazala, who had come to a standstill, moaning softly lit. On the floor before her, hiding small and the distribution head pulled it. She stopped crying, shuffled theThree times with dry lips, then raised his head and stepped forward with a groan ... "
The reader learns of the war, the Arabs liberated from the domination turkish, unite at the expense of the many tribes under a single leader, Faisal, difficulties in the coordination of civilian and military factions. And we are essentially on the ability of a wonderful man to persevere in spite of pain, failure, hunger, disease and despair.
A similar incident is described in Book V, which is in a desperateNeed of care and assistance. Four times he tried, denied his superiors in contact British Suez, and again ... "She regrets that it was not their business ... They were sorry, but he had no free boats .... I came from. ... You interrupted me ..." In this case, he insisted and was eventually successful.
The Treaty is its reward. Side to side fills you with wonder. He describes his friendship with Auda, "the greatest fighting man in northern Arabia," the parties, theI am in this amazing place on the carpet and down in campaigns past, the perception of the effects of the war had on everyone he met, including himself, and the meticulous planning of each campaign.
But the introspective aspect of his character is that I found disturbing. It is self-doubt, a terrible sense of worthlessness all afflicted. Underlying all these efforts, all the success, failure, courage, heights monumental mencan reach, it is essential sadness and helplessness, TE Lawrence.
The final chapter describes the conquest of Damascus, page after page offered the tension. It 'was difficult to put the book. Having praised this book is to tell me, decided that the only way that I read a paper may have been next to me. The small cards in the book are useful, provided that you selected, or the page number in memory, it is not difficult once you realize the need to maintain thisit is. As for his drawings are a treasure. He was a man of many parts, as the saying goes. I am pleased to see me
