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.

评分劳伦斯原本是一个喜欢探险的学者,在一战时被派遣去阿拉伯,他熟知阿拉伯历史和阿拉伯语,一直希望亲身体验阿拉伯的运动,起初参与战争的主要动力也是出于个人的,就像他自己说的“充满想象力的自我表达”,而且至始至终这种动力都最为强烈。 复杂的身世和经历造就了他矛盾的性...
评分“阿拉伯的劳伦斯”也算是间谍史和传奇史的著名人物。劳伦斯甚至成为大英帝国的传说之一,说正是大量的这种人才造就了大英帝国。当然对于非英国人甚至非欧洲人来说,这也只是个传说罢了。 一战时阿拉伯地区处于土耳其帝国的统治下已经很久了,但虽然同样信奉伊斯兰教,可是拥有...
