SCARCE IN ORIGINAL CLOTH IN PLEASING CONDITION. "A full and intimate account of Lawrence's life and adventures. It is simply written and is interesting for the new light it throws on his character and guiding motives. It fills up the puzzling gaps left by A REVOLT IN THE DESERT and gives much remarkable and authentic history not even contained in THE SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM, the famous privately-owned quarto of which REVOLT IN THE DESERT is an abridgement" The maps are important as they provide clarity to understanding the area considered Arab at the time, the movements of Lawrence and the Arabs, the ride to Akaba, Lawrence's rides across the Arab area, and the campaign of the Arab revolt in the north and allow the reader to witness the path of the Arab revolt that Lawrence led with Feisal and the other Arab leaders. By this writing, Lawrence had a plethora of nominal identities. The name "Lawrence" had been discarded in favor of "Shaw," though "Ross" was also commonly used. Both had been chosen at random for their shortness and late placement in the alphabet (Lawrence avoided the right of an alphabetical army line). He was called "Aurans" or "Lurens" by the Arabs, but most popular was his nickname "Emir Dinamit," meaning "Prince Dynamite," awarded to him for his boundless energy and methodology of war. Most popularly, he was referred to as "Lawrence of Arabia," a name which he loathed both for its length and its tendency to inspire awe-stricken hero worship which made him uncomfortable to the point of feeling physically unclean. This early biography attempts to pin down the elusive man behind the myth and was written by a personal friend of Lawrence, the one he trusted the most to write an account of his Arabian adventures.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition; First Printing. Signed by B. H. Liddell Hart and Robert Graves. Two volume set, one volume contains Lawrence's letters to Liddell Hart, the other contains Lawrence's letters to Robert Graves. This first printing was limited to 1,000 signed copies, this set is number 368. Both Liddell Hart and Robert Graves wrote their own separate biographies of Lawrence after WWI. Graves always intended to write a biography while Liddell Hart originally meant to write a military history of Lawrence's actions in WWI before changing his mind and writing a full fledged biography. Both men were friends of Lawrence's and received his extensive help in writing their biographies. Both biographers were combat veterans of WWI, but Graves was a famous poet and classicist while Liddell Hart became a famous military historian and strategist whose ideas about indirect warfare and mechanized combined arms became very influential. Because they approached their biographies from completely different viewpoints, the help Lawrence gave Graves was very different from what he told Liddell Hart. These volumes contain Lawrence's answers to their questions and critical commentary on their manuscripts. They also contain explanatory text by Liddell Hart and Graves. Both volumes have gilded top page edges. Both have two previous owner bookplates on their front pastedowns. Slipcase has a large previous owner bookplate on it.

First edition; 8vo (20.5 x 15 cm); 24 plates including frontispiece, 4 maps, with the advert sheet for 'Arabia Deserta' bound after p.448 as issued, bookplate to pastedown; publisher's brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt, original dust-jacket worn with small tears to spine and corners, cloth a little bumped, a very good copy; 454pp. A first edition, with the scarce original dust-jacket, of Robert Graves' account of Lawrence's exploits in WWI and the Arab Revolt. It was published the same year as The Revolt in the Desert, the abridgement of Seven Pillars by Lawrence which would be the only publicly available text of Seven Pillars in his lifetime. It not only streamlines but adds many historical details and contexts to Lawrence's actions which the The Revolt in the Desert does not. The four maps are important as they are also something new added to the narrative and gives considerable guidance to the reader not just geographically but also in the chronology of the events which Lawrence experienced. Robert Graves (1895-1985) was one of Lawrence's closest friends, knowing him from his Oxford days, and one of the five entrusted by Lawrence to give feedback on the 1922 "Oxford" text of Seven Pillars. His closeness to Lawrence, and personal experiences of the war in the Royal Welch Fusiliers, lent a personal touch to the autobiography as well as laying bare the violence and deceit with which the British military establishment treated Arabs and the idea of a united Arab nation.
