{"product_id":"alexander-maitland-wilfred-thesiger-9780006384076","title":"Wilfred Thesiger","description":"Wilfred Thesiger, the last of the great gentlemen explorer-adventurers, became a legend in his own lifetime. This authorised biography by a longstanding friend and associate delves into his little-known character and motivations, as well as recounting the details of his extraordinary life. Wilfred Thesiger, the great explorer-adventurer and author of 'Arabian Sands' and 'The Marsh Arabs', and one work of autobiography 'The Life of my Choice', became a legend in his own lifetime, but his character and motivations have remained an intriguing enigma. In this authorised biography - written with Thesiger's support before he died in 2003 and with unique access to the rich Thesiger archive - Alexander Maitland investigates this fascinating figure's family influences, his wartime experiences, his philosophy as a hunter and conservationist, his writing and photography, his friendships with Arabs and Africans amongst whom he lived, and his now-acknowledged homosexuality.","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53694902370646,"sku":"9780006384076-G","price":6.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780006384076_1_6fdc58d7-c385-48bd-9428-bd5aa34b2b00.jpg?v=1779106663","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/alexander-maitland-wilfred-thesiger-9780006384076","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
