Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. A presentation copy, inscribed on the half-title by Charlotte F. Shaw (the wife of George Bernard Shaw, and a close friend and correspondent of Lawrence's) to that doyen of booksellers, J.G. Wilson of Bumpus who assisted TE with the subscribers for the '26 SP: "J.G. Wilson from Charlotte F. Shaw, 13 March 1929" In original quarter yellow cloth with green boards, backstrip with printed label, a touch of wear to one corner, edges rough trimmed, dustjacket with darkened backstrip panel frayed at either end with some loss at foot, a little chipping to corners. Lawrence's very free translation of 'Le Gigantesque' was taken on to fill his time following expulsion from the RAF, but became a burden: he complained to Cape that 'at last this foul work' was 'complete. Please [.] get it off my suffering chest before I burst'. (O'Brien A094). Presentation Copy Signed By Ch.

Octavo, light leaf-green cloth, spine embossed with gilt lettering, 158 pp., frontispiece, illustrated with eight black-and-white woodcuts. Spine ends bumped and rubbed, edges of spine and covers lightly rubbed, corners of covers bumped, very light foxing on endpapers and edges of text block, fore-edge and tail of text block untrimmed, fore-edge of several pages throughout uncut, small navy and cream Hugh Rees Ltd sticker on lower-right edge of paste-down endpaper; overall a very good edition. Translated by T. E. Lawrence under the name of J. H. Ross, The Forest Giant was first published in English in 1924. This 1935 edition of Lawrence's fine translation (published shortly after his death) is illustrated with exquisite woodcuts by Scottish artist Agnes Miller Parker, and includes a publisher's note and dedication that are both absent from the original edition. The publisher notes that Lawrence's translation of the text is 'very free', more a 'rendering' rather than a close translation. Like Lawrence, Romanian-born author Rudolf Bernhardt wrote The Forest Giant under a pseudonym. His story follows a young protagonist on their journey of self-discovery, his growing maturity likened to the life of the forest's giant sequoia. O'Brien, A095.

First edition, limited issue, number 57 of 352 copies, one of 45 bound in quarter goatskin. This is a French/English parallel version of Lawrence's translation of Le Gigantesque (1922), first published in 1924 and one of two translated works he produced. It is also the only example of Lawrence's translations from French. Lawrence took on this translation commission from Cape just after having enlisted in the Tank Corps. He denigrated both the novel itself and his work on it, sending his finished draft to the publishers accompanied by a note: "At last this foul work: complete. Damn Adrien le Corbeau and his rhetoric. The book is a magnificent idea, ruined by jejune bombast. My version is better than his: but dishonest here and there: but my stomach turned. Couldn't help it" (p. xi). This edition comes with a foreword by the editor Jeremy Wilson, the authorized biographer of T. E. Lawrence, and Le Corbeau's dedication to Professor Simon Duplay of the Académie de Médecine. It also contains a number of facsimiles and photographs of the original manuscripts, not present in any other rendition. The French text was typeset from the copy that Le Corbeau gave to Charles Fasquelle, son of his publisher, and the English text was scanned from the copy owned by Jock Chambers, one of Lawrence's close friends from his service. This copy is one of 45 in quarter crushed morocco, with a further 15 in an inlaid binding, 40 bound in quarter morocco, and 250 bound in cloth. Two copies were reserved for the publisher. Octavo. Frontispiece of facsimile letter, 10 plates, illustrations in the text. Original brown quarter morocco, spine gilt-lettered direct, brown cloth covers, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt. Housed in original brown cloth slipcase. A fine copy.
