內容簡介

內容簡介 勇於冒險絕不放棄,向阿拉伯的勞倫斯致敬阿拉伯的勞倫斯鑄造了自己的傳奇,他的生命史詩值得一再傳誦。作者費恩斯為當代最長壽的探險家,人生足跡與勞倫斯有著重合之處。相距50年時光,他也帶領阿拉伯軍隊參與阿拉伯半島上的戰爭,見證這片土地和居民的奇蹟,他是極少數有資格宣稱洞察勞倫斯生活方式的人。本書蘊含詳細紀錄和深刻知識,真實全面地呈現勞倫斯這位神祕冒險家的故事。The authoritative and illuminating biography of T. E. Lawrence - the man who inspired the iconic film Lawrence of Arabia - from "The World's Greatest Living Explorer" Ranulph Fiennes.Thomas Edward Lawrence first set foot on the hot sands of Arabia in 1909.By 1918 there was a £20,000 price on his head.His journey to this point has long been legend. From his first postings as archaeologist, liaison and map officer, to fighting alongside guerrilla forces during the Arab Revolt. Journeying more than 300 miles through blistering heat to capture Aqaba, to his involvement in peace conferences that decided the future of the Middle East. Lawrence gave over his life the Middle East and its people.A legend in his own lifetime, Lawrence's epic story has always been ripe for the retelling - but Ranulph Fiennes is no ordinary biographer . . . Having led Arab troops into battle on the Arabian peninsula in a war fought only fifty years later. Fiennes too discovered the wonders of these far-flung lands and the people who live there, and is one of very few who can claim a true insight into the kind of life that Lawrence lived - bold and adventurous to the end.With detailed access to records and an in-depth knowledge, Lawrence of Arabia is at long last a true and full account of this mysterious adventurer who captivated the world.
