A ichael Korda s Hero is the story of an epic life
-*- -*-
on a grand scale: a revealing, in-depth, and
gripping biography of the extraordinary, mysterious,
and dynamic Englishman whose daring exploits and
romantic profile—including his blond, sun-burnished
good looks and flowing white robes—made him an
object of intense fascination, still famous the world
over as Lawrence of Arabia.
An Oxford scholar and archaeologist, one of five
illegitimate sons of a British aristocrat who ran away
with his daughters governess, Lawrence was sent to
Cairo as a young intelligence officer in
1916.
He van¬
ished into the desert in
1917
only to emerge later as one
of the greatest—and certainly most colorful—figures
of World War One. Though a foreigner, he played a
leading and courageous part in uniting the Arab tribes
to defeat the Turks, and eventually capture Damascus,
transforming himself into a world-famous hero, hailed
as the Uncrowned King of Arabia.
In illuminating Lawrence s achievements,
Korda
digs further than anyone before him to expose the
flesh-and-blood man and his contradictory nature.
Here was a born leader who was utterly fearless
and seemingly impervious to pain, thirst, fatigue,
and danger, yet who remained shy, sensitive, mod¬
est, and retiring; a hero who turned down every
honor and decoration offered to him, and was racked
by moral guilt and doubt; a scholar and an aesthete
who was also a bold and ruthless warrior; a writer
of genius—the author of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, one
of the greatest books ever written about war
—
who
was the virtual inventor of modern insurgency and
guerrilla warfare; a man who at the same time sought
and fled the limelight, and who found in friendships,
with everyone from Winston Churchill to George
Bernard and Charlotte Shaw, from Nancy Astor
to
Noël
Coward, a substitute for sexual feelings that
he rigorously—even brutally and systematically—
repressed in himself.
(continued from front
Пар)
As
Korda
shows in his brilliantly readable and for¬
midably authoritative biography, Lawrence was not
only a man of his times; he was a visionary whose ac¬
complishments—farsighted diplomat and kingmaker,
military strategist of genius, perhaps the first modern
media celebrity* (and one of the first victims of it),
and an acclaimed writer—transcended his era.
Korda
examines Lawrence s vision for the mod¬
ern Middle East—plans that, had they been carried
through, might have prevented the hatred and blood¬
shed that have become ubiquitous in the region. Ulti¬
mately, as this magisterial work demonstrates, Law¬
rence remains one of the most unique and fascinating
figures of modern times, the arch-hero whose life is at
once a triumph and a sacrifice and whose capacity to
astonish still remains undimmed.
