    Description

    First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

    First UK Edition. 

    In the publisher's original cloth binding. 

    This is a wonderful copy containing Lawrence's English translation of Homer's epic poem, the 'Odyssey'. This is one of the most significant works of the Western canon, and relates the journey of Odyssey as he wanders and attempts to make his way back home. 

    T. E. Lawrence (1888-1935) was a British archaeologist, army officer, and diplomat. He became renowned for his role in the Arab Revolt, where he helped fight against the Ottoman Empire. His most significant texts include 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom', and a translation of 'The Forest Giant'. 

    Prior owner's ink inscription to front endpaper, belonging to prior owner D. P. Wolfertan.

    Collated, complete.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart. Light fading and discolouration to the margins of boards and spine. Light fading to gilt decoration on front board. Age-toning and spots to the paste downs and endpapers. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very clean throughout, with light age-toning to the margins and the odd spot to the first and last few pages of text.

    Very Good
