SYNOPSIS
The real story of T. E. Lawrence’s life as told by the author of I, Claudius. "A combination of history, biography, and . . . an amazingly human tale" (Boston Evening Transcript).
Immortalized in the film Lawrence of Arabia, the real T. E. Lawrence was a leader, a war strategist, and a scholar, and is here immortalized in an intimate biography written by his close friend, the award-winning British novelist, poet and classicist Robert Graves.
As a student at Oxford, T. E. Lawrence was fascinated with Middle Eastern history and culture, and underwent a four-month visit to Syria to study the fortifications built by the crusaders. Later, he returned to the region, this time as an archaeologist working with the British Army’s Intelligence unit in Egypt during World War I. From there, in 1916, he joined Arab rebels fighting against Turkish domination. His brilliance as a desert war tactician earned him the respect of the Turkish fighters and worldwide renown.
"Interesting and informative." —New York Herald Tribune
"[Mr. Graves] has done his job admirably and without any too obvious excesses of hero worship." —New Statesman
"[Readers] will consult Mr. Graves for information about this man." —The New Republic

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Robert Graves
Robert Graves was born in 1895 in Wimbledon, son of the Irish writer Alfred Perceval Graves. He was a professor of English Literature at Cairo University in 1926 and elected Professor of Poetry at Oxford in 1961, but he lived by writing and became known for his unorthodox perspectives. His main vocation was poetry, but he also wrote works of fiction and non-fiction, mainly historical novels, such as Homer's Daughter, I, Claudius, or King Jesus. Among his essayistic books, The White Goddess stands out, which presents a new perspective on the poetic impulse, the compilation of the first modern dictionary of Greek mythology, Greek Myths, and his celebrated autobiography, Goodbye to All That. In 1971 he became a Fellow of St. John's College, Oxford. He died in December 1985 in Mallorca, where he had lived since 1929. His British publisher, Penguin, called him 'the greatest poet of love since Donne.'
