Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Seven Pillars of Wisdom is the extraordinary memoir of T. E. Lawrence (popularly known as Lawrence of Arabia), and recounts his experiences in the Arab Revolt (1916-1918). A vast and impressive memoir, it is marked both by Lawrence’s meticulous eye and a richly romantic sensibility. The work as a whole affords a unique perspective of the Arab conflict, but serves equally as an insight into the personality of its remarkable author.
