Description
Lawrence and the Arabs: An Intimate Biography by Robert Graves is a unique study of one of history's most enigmatic figures. First published in 1927, this biography was written with Lawrence's permission and cooperation, allowing Graves to separate fact from myth. Graves, a close friend who had earlier saved the author from bankruptcy, brings precision and insight to his portrayal of Lawrence's life. The book chronicles Lawrence's early journeys to the Middle East, including a four-month walking tour of Syria as a student at Oxford, and his later exploits during World War I, where he joined Arab forces in a rebellion against Turkish domination. This biography is part of Seven Stories' Robert Graves Project, which spans fourteen titles and includes fiction and nonfiction works for adults, young adults, and children.
