{"product_id":"seven-pillars-of-wisdom-a-triumph","title":"Seven Pillars Of Wisdom - A Triumph","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is to be sold with its sister volume by Graves as a pair of uniform bindings. It is a very famous autobiographical  account of the experiences of British Army Colonel  T.E Lawrence, whilst serving as a military advisor to Bedouin forces during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire of 1916 to 1918. It was completed in 1922 to be published in 1926. The title comes from the Book of Proverbs as Lawrence had already begun a scholarly  book about seven great cities of the Middle East that was incomplete when war broke out and the destroyed the manuscript. This Seven Pillars book had to be rewritten three times with the loss of the original manuscript in his briefcase on a railway station amazingly. The final publication details are a lengthy and convoluted story.  There are fourteen interesting illustrations and four maps included throughout and both books are an absolute testimony to the bookbinder's art. $1600 as a pair with the other uniformly bound volume about Lawrence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Love Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51365218615592,"sku":"47497","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lovevintagebooks.com.au\/products\/seven-pillars-of-wisdom-a-triumph","provider":"Love Vintage Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
