T.E. Lawrence - Фильмы

Лейтенант Полковник Томас Эдвард Лоуренс, CB, DSO (16 Августа 1888 – 19 мая 1935), known professionally as T. E. Lawrence, was a British Army officer renowned especially for his связи role during the Arab Revolt against Ottoman Turkish rule of 1916-18. The extraordinary breadth and variety of his activities and associations, and his ability to describe them vividly in writing, earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia, a title popularised by the 1962 film based on his First World War activities. Lawrence was born illegitimately in Tremadog, Wales in August 1888 to Sir Thomas Chapman and Sarah Junner, a governess and herself illegitimate. Чепмен left his wife to live with Junner, and they called themselves Мистер и Миссис Лоуренс. In the summer of 1896 Lawrences the moved to Oxford, from where to 1910 1907 Лоуренс studied history at Jesus College, graduating with First Class Honours. He became a practising archaeologist in the Middle East, working with Дэвид Джордж Хогарт и Leonard Woolley on various раскопки. In January 1914, following the outbreak of the First World War, Lawrence was co-opted by the British military to undertake a military survey of the Negev Desert while doing archaeological research. Lawrence's public image was due in part to Американский журналист Лоуэлл Томас' sensationalised репортаж of the revolt as well as to Lawrence's autobiographical account Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1922).
