Abstract "The Seven Pillars of wisdom", Lawrence Of Arabia Thomas Edward Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, is a famous English intelligence officer, politician, writer, translator. His vivid and unusual autobiographical novel "Seven Pillars of wisdom" is one of the most popular and widely circulated books in the world (based on it, the legendary film "Lawrence of Arabia", one of the masterpieces of world cinema, was made). This book whimsically combines the medieval exotic world of the Arabs, who revered Lawrence almost as the Messiah, and the realities of the Western world, which unceremoniously invaded the Middle East at the beginning of the last century. But the most important thing about it is the soul of Arabia, which Lawrence felt and described in a way that none of the Europeans could. The proposed Edition — a complete translation of this wonderful book-is addressed to a wide range of readers. Thomas Edward Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, is a figure who is difficult to squeeze into one genre. Archaeologist, Scout, soldier, author. His seven pillars of wisdom, first published in 1926, are not just memoirs. This is a complete picture of the conflict, in which the personal and the Global are intertwined. It's about trying to figure out how to unite those who have never been interested in unity. In the center is an English Bedouin officer, step by step approaching the limits of his own capabilities. He negotiates, sabotages Railways, analyzes allied mistakes, and tries to strike a balance between political duty and personal responsibility. Next to him are Emir Faisal, as well as figures who remain on the verge of political play: tribal leaders, Warriors, traitors, heroes and those who will never get into official protocols. This is not just a text about the desert and campaigns. There is also criticism of British politics, a description of cultural rifts, and an internal conflict between the author, who understands that his promises are impossible to fulfill. Arab uprisings, geopolitical challenges, equipment details, broken alliances – it's all here. But most of all, it is a portrait of a person who learns not to change himself even in the chaos of war.
