"Prima edizione ufficiale". “Nel 1919, durante la conferenza di Parigi, aveva scritto il suo grande libro sulla rivolta araba, "The seven pillars of Wisdom": il primo manoscritto venne smarrito da L. in treno. Il volume, pubblicato in numero assai limitato di copie, apparve nel 1921 e poi ancora nel 1926 con molti rimaneggiamenti proposti da G.B. Shaw, amico dello scrittore; alcuni giudizi su persone ancora vive e su azioni di guerra furono soppressi. Solo nel 1935 apparve l’edizione per il pubblico. Uomo dalla straordinaria personalità di condottiero e nello stesso tempo di artista, L. ha creato, con "The Seven pillars", un’opera affascinante nella quale la pagina di cronaca si mescola con l’ispirazione poetico-letteraria, l’ufficiale in missione si alterna col viaggiatore e l’archeologo... “Monumento” che rimane a testimonianza delle sue imprese, "The Seven Pillars", ha un eccezionale valore artistico e rimane fra i capolavori più singolari della letteratura moderna” (Cfr. Diz. Univers. della Letteratura contemporanea, Mondadori,III, p. 73). Solo qualche rara e lieviss. fioritura, altrimenti testo ben conservato, con barbe.

8vo. 12 pages, plus a full page map and photographic plates for illustration. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. A noteworthy and engaging study of the life and custom of the Chaouïa Berbers, the Aurasian people eastern Algeria's Aurès mountains, and of French influence a region which would be fraught with brutality in a revolutionary war only thirteen years later, as the same people would fight for independence. Describing it as one of the most clearly defined cultural regions in North Africa, the account presents a mixture of cultural, religious, linguistic and ethnographical analyses with topics such as agricultural practices, the tradition of transhumance and annual migration in search of better watered pastures, important commodities in a semi-nomadic society, flat topped dwellings in small villages or dechras, a description of Menâa which was one of the largest villages, defence against invading enemy tribes, weaponry and restrictions on the latter, the impact of French assimilation efforts on Berber society even with a nominal number of foreigners physically present, and in turn, Berber interest in French culture. The lieutenant's account is well illustrated, further providing notes and statistics relating to the images.
