Written between 1919 and 1926, this text tells of the campaign aganist the Turks in the Middle East, encompassing gross acts of cruelty and revenge, ending in a welter of stink and corpses in a Damascus hospital.
From AudioFile
Lawrence's famous autobiographical history of the Arab wars of liberation from the Ottoman Empire during WWI is difficult to follow in this severe abridgment. The deeper historical milieu has to be known in detail by the listener for a full understanding. Nevertheless, Irish actor Jim Norton's voice aptly expresses this weary, steely, cultured Englishman with too much integrity for his times. Scenes of pain and horror are dryly presented, but Lawrence's anguish at governmental double-dealing comes clearly through. As usual, Naxos punctuates the narrative with well-chosen selections of stirring classical music. D.W.

吕叔湘先生所译的《沙漠革命记》，原本是《智慧七柱》(Seven Pillars of Wisdom)的一个节本。劳伦斯(T. E. Lawrence)的回忆录重点不在自身的过往，而是他曾为之浴血的那片土地和那场战争。 一直没有看电影《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》，因为先看了《Venus》，当年饰演劳伦斯的蓝...
