Lowell Thomas Bücher

It was 1918 in Jerusalem, when the admiring young American scholar and journalist Lowell Thomas first met T.E. Lawrence. He went on to write With Lawrence in Arabia, a book that sparked the Lawrence of Arabia legend and was the basis of the celebrated film. With brilliant narrative verve, Lowell recounts the exploits of the young British agent who managed to weld disparate and warring Arab tribes into a formidable mobile fighting force—a guerilla army that would defeat the Turks in the Arab Revolt, sealing the fate of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East during World War I. On a canvas whose background is the fierce, inhospitable desert and in whose foreground stride the Emir Feisal, King Hussein I of the Hedjaz, the British General Allenby, and the strange, hypnotic figure of Lawrence himself, Thomas paints a vivid portrait of the “modern knight of Arabia.”

The narrative centers on Louis Romanet, a Frenchman who immerses himself in the Arctic life of an Eskimo tribe, forming a profound bond with Akpek, the chief. This true story explores themes of friendship and cultural exchange, highlighting the unique experiences and challenges faced in the harsh Arctic environment. The book includes captivating chapters detailing encounters with the tribe and the beauty of the northern landscape. Ideal for those intrigued by Eskimo culture, it is presented in a modern edition that preserves the original artwork and text.
