I don't understand why people are reviewing this book as inappropriate for kids. Maybe not for small children, of course, but I would give it to a middle- or high schooler. It's about as G-rated a biography of Lawrence as I've ever read, though there's no way to sugar-coat the horrors of warfare, and the book doesn't try to. That may be the objection, but I disagree with it. This is a good introduction both to Lawrence and to the Arab Revolt, and will give interested kids (or adults) a basis for looking at events in the Middle East today. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)World Landmark Books (W-52)
Colorful characters, a larger-than-life hero, stirring battles, death-defying desert treks, and an adventure rich in mystery and romance, are all depicted by a great writer. That and more is what readers will find in this spellbinding biography of Lawrence of Arabia that is impossible to put down. Bestselling author and screenwriter Alistair MacLean follows Lawrence as he breaks with tradition to live with Arabs and, using modern-day guerrilla tactics, helps them defeat the Turks and gain an independent state. In addition to the enthralling details of the campaign, MacLean provides valuable insight into the origins of the Middle East we know today. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
