T.E. Lawrence was remarkable, among other things, for the quality of his letters. It is not just that they are interesting and well-written; they also provide intriguing links to different aspects of British life in the first half of the twentieth century. As many have discovered, an interest in Lawrence can quickly become a gateway to the history and culture of his time. He corresponded with writers such as John Buchan, E.M. Forster, David Garnett, Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon, and Bernard Shaw; artists such as Augustus John, Eric Kennington, Paul Nash, William Roberts and William Rothenstein; archaeologists and travellers such as Gertrude Bell, C.M. Doughty and D.G. Hogarth, and public figures such as Nancy Astor, Winston Churchill and Lord Trenchard. Lawrence's career and personality often provoked strong reactions in people he met. Some admired and respected him. Others questioned his achievements and resented his post-war enlistment. Someone's reaction to Lawrence often provides clues to their attitudes towards other topics.

Noch immer umgibt ihn der Glanz des Heldenhaften: Lawrence von Arabien. Als die arabischen Völker sich 1916 gegen die Herrschaft des Osmanischen Reiches erheben, kämpft der Engländer Thomas Edward Lawrence an vorderster Front in ihren Reihen. Als britischer Agent soll er den Interessen seines Landes dienen und den Aufständischen zum Sieg verhelfen. Doch seine Loyalität gehört ebenso sehr den Völkern der Wüste, denen er in Freundschaft und Bewunderung verbunden ist. Lawrence’ grandioser Bericht über den arabischen Freiheitskampf ist ein Glanzstück der europäischen Literatur und diente auch Frank Herbert als Inspirationsquelle für sein Sci-Fi-Epos »Dune – Der Wüstenplanet«.

Die sieben Säulen der Weisheit. Lawrence von Arabien

This second of four volumes of correspondence with the Shaws provides something akin to a weekly diary of the first year Lawrence spent at RAF stations in India. It is part of the scholarly fine-press edition of Lawrence's writings edited by Jeremy and Nicole Wilson, which has become the standard work in this field.

T. E. Lawrence to His Biographer, Robert Graves

“Tutti gli uomini sognano, ma non allo stesso modo. Quelli che di notte sognano nei polverosi angoli della propria mente scoprono, di giorno, che era solo vanità; ma quelli che sognano di giorno sono uomini pericolosi, perché può darsi che recitino il loro sogno a occhi aperti, per attuarlo. Questo io feci. Intendevo creare una nazione nuova, ristabilire un’influenza perduta, dare a venti milioni di semiti le fondamenta sulle quali costruire un ispirato palazzo di sogni per il loro pensiero nazionale. [...] Ma, quando vincemmo, mi si accusò di aver messo in pericolo i profitti britannici sul petrolio della Mesopotamia e di aver guastato la politica coloniale francese nel Levante.” Sono le parole dello stesso T.E. Lawrence, che in due anni, dal 1916 al 1918, riuscì a organizzare un esercito arabo sotto il comando dell’emiro Feisal e a portarlo vittorioso fino a Damasco. Per il governo britannico, però, la guerra serviva solo a distruggere l’Impero ottomano e a consolidare la propria posizione nel Medio Oriente. Alla fine della guerra Lawrence raccontò gli avvenimenti di quegli anni in un libro che è molto di più che un semplice resoconto di guerra. I sette pilastri della saggezza è ormai un classico della letteratura novecentesca: un racconto epico, ricco di poesia e avventura, un libro sapienziale, un ritratto dell’Arabia, della sua gente e dei suoi misteri e il diario intimo di colui che è stato forse l’ultimo eroe romantico e che col mitico nome di Lawrence d’Arabia è entrato nella leggenda.
