Seven pillars of wisdom by T.E. Lawrence
The book focuses on T.E. Lawrence's role in leading the Arab Revolt, a guerrilla campaign against the Ottoman Turks during World War I. Lawrence, famously known as "Lawrence of Arabia," united Arab tribes in a successful campaign. Seven Pillars of Wisdom refers to the seven crucial factors he saw as necessary for an uprising, including leadership, strategy, loyalty, flexibility, and communication. Beyond a historical record, the book explores warfare's ethical and cultural complications and the impact of political choices, offering insight into the Middle East's history, politics, and cultural dynamics during a critical period.
What's new in Melitensia
Melitensia's book of the month – March 2025
Bridges in Malta written by Alex Attard and published by Kite Group.
Bridges represent a harmonious blend of functionality and design, enhancing accessibility while enriching the spatial experience of their surroundings. As this book demonstrates, the evolving integration of bridges within architectural structures will continue to be fundamental in shaping connected spaces. Attard emphasizes that bridges represent more than mere connections; they symbolize the spirit of collaboration, innovation, and hope that drives humanity forward. Through this book, readers will thus explore the diverse roles of bridges, covering their presence in different forms—from fortifications and urban crossings to rural landscapes, architectural landmarks, and essential infrastructure.
