No notes or highlighting. See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> THE ODYSSEY trated unreservedly into its outer husk, till the little seed felt itself soaked. None the less it kept its vital force intact, and neither split nor sprouted. The life force handed down to it through millions of genera- tions was too vigorous and too well-prepared for its special future, whether near or distant, to break up in the tiny frame. Only this time inertia was not its sole defence against the assailing elements: it found in itself a happy elasticity which helped to keep out surplus liquid. Thus for the whole rainy season the seed wandered about the sand-desert, going with the waters down an imperceptible slope. On all sides the waves now compassed it, with the grey sky coving above it and them in the daytime; but at night it was drowned by water and by darkness. The waters, as ever, darkened the shadows of these shades circling in space. A chill, blind, impenetrable horror over- came the pine-seed. It appeared, almost like.
Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Parker, Agnes, Miller (illustrator). First Thus. A good clean copy of this book translated by T E lawrence (J H Ross), In a good d/w that has some loss to top edge of spine. School bookplate to inside of front board. This book by Le Corbeau on life, love, aging and death as depicted by the lifespan of the California Sequoia tree. The title was translated by Lawrence in 1924 and published under his pseudonym 'J. H. Ross' by which name he had enlisted in the RAF and later changed his name by Deed Poll to T. E. Shaw.He retained the name Ross on his bank account until his deat in 1935. Here is the second edition with wood-engravings by Agnes Miller Parker. It appears that Lawrence knew little about Corbeau, the text being suggested by Jonathan Cape, after Lawrence wrote to them: "If you, as a publisher, ever have anything in French which needs translating (for a fee! ) please give me a chance at it. I've plenty (of) leisure in the Army, and my French is good, and turning it into English is a pleasure to me: also the cash would be welcome, however little it was.". 'Adrien Le Corbeau' was one of the pseudonyms of Romanian-born author Rudolf Bernhardt (1886-1932). O'Brien A095.

Pp. 160(last blank), frontispiece, plus 8 plates; green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, boards a trifle soiled, edges lightly worn, bottom fore-corners slightly bruised; fore and bottom edges uncut; the text block faintly browned, scattered light foxing; Jonathan Cape, London, 1935. Second U.K. edition. O'Brien A095. *Lacking the dust wrapper. 'By his own request Lawrence was given the French work Le Gigantesque to translate soon after his expulsion from the R.A.F. and re-enlistment in the Tank Corps in 1923. He appears to have been motivated both by a need for funds and by the wish to fill his free time.' [O'Brien p. 74]. In 1935, Cape published this edition, with illustrations by Agnes Miller Parker. It contains a new publisher's note and the author's dedication to Professor Simon Dupley, which Lawrence had included in his translation but which, at his own suggestion, had been omitted from the 1924 edition. Adrien Le Corbeau was a pseudonym of Romanian writer Rudolf Bernhardt (1886-1932).

Full leather. This is the beautiful Castle Hill Press limited edition of parallel French and English texts of Lawrence's first published translation, Adrien Le Corbeau's novel The Forest Giant. Of a total edition of 352, only 40 were bound thus, in full red crushed morocco with blind-ruled borders on the upper board, enclosing central pine cone design in blind, spine lettered in gilt, blind-ruled turn-ins framing marbled endpapers, all edges gilt, and housed in a red cloth slipcase. This copy is hand numbered "40" in red ink on the limitation page. Condition is truly fine, with no reportable wear or flaws.Le Gigantesque was first published in Paris in 1922. Although the Academie Francaise awarded Le Gigantesque the Montyon prize, "the novel failed to bring the author the literary recognition he so much hoped for." Even the English-language translation remained virtually unknown to modern audiences until this handsome edition published by Castle Hill Press, the premier editors and fine press publishers of material by and about T. E. Lawrence, founded by Lawrence s official biographer, Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017).Lawrence s translation is one of only two surviving translations by him (the other being The Odyssey of Homer) and Lawrence s only surviving translation from French into English. Lawrence s translation has been called "a far better work than the French original" that "deserves to rank among his most distinguished literary achievements." (Jeremy Wilson) Adrien Le Corbeau was a pseudonym of Romanian-born author Rudolf Bernhardt. Like Lawrence, Bernhardt (1886-1932) died in his mid-forties.Thomas Edward Lawrence's (1888-1935) experience during the First World War pivoted around his remarkable odyssey as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire; Lawrence began the war as an eccentric junior intelligence officer and ended as "Lawrence of Arabia." By contrast, "during the First World War Le Corbeau was ill with typhus, and this experience became the inspiration for his second published book, L Heure Finale (1924)." He published just one other work (Le Couple Nu) before his death. Le Corbeau s death came without the public and literary fame that Lawrence achieved, but about which he was perpetually conflicted.Lawrence was given the work to translate "soon after his expulsion from the R.A.F. and re-enlistment in the Tank Corps in 1923. He appears to have been motivated by both a need for funds and by the wish to fill his free time." (see O Brien, A094) Lawrence completed his translation of the novel in 1923, and it was published by Cape in the following year under Lawrence's pseudonym J.H. Ross. A second English edition, illustrated by the artist Agnes Miller Parker, was issued in 1935 (shortly after Lawrence's death). This Castle Hill Press edition is the third English edition.For the Castle Hill Press edition, "the French and English texts have been printed on facing pages, which 'allows readers familiar with French to see that Lawrence's Forest Giant is a skillful re-creation of the work, rather than a straightforward translation'." This full-goatskin copy includes four additional plates of facsimiles which reproduce extracts from Lawrence s 30 March 13 September 1923 correspondence with Cape about the translation. Jeremy Wilson s Foreword gives a history of the translation. Limited, full-morocco issue of the third English edition.
