Kurz nach Garibaldis Tode sind seine Memoiren aufgrund seiner eigenen Niederschrift im Verlag Barbèra in Florenz zum ersten Male erschienen und haben von da an zahlreiche Neuauflagen erlebt ... Eine deutsche Ausgabe liegt schon seit 1861 vor, die von Frau Schwarz besorgt wurde, die unter dem Namen Elpis Melena schrieb, eine der enthusiastischsten unter den zahlreichen Verehrerinnen Garibaldis. Dieser überließ ihr, als sie ihn bald nach seiner Niederlassung in Caprera dort besuchte, das Manuskript seiner Memoiren, soweit sie damals vorlagen, nämlich bis zu seinem Aufbruch aus Südamerika im Frühling 1848. Die deutsche Übertragung, die die Genannte davon veranstaltete, erschien 1861 in Hamburg. Ein zweites Mal hat Garibaldi sein Manuskript, nachdem er es von Elpis Melena zurückgefordert, dem Franzosen Alexander Dumas anvertraut, der es ins Französische übertrug, so zwar, daß er es mit eigenen Zutaten bereicherte und in eine halb historische, halb romantische Darstellung umarbeitete, außerdem selbständig eine Fortsetzung bis 1860 hinzufügte, und dieses Buch hat dann Dr. Gottlieb Fink ins Deutsche übersetzt und in 3 Bändchen 1860 in Stuttgart erscheinen lassen. Demgegenüber liegt unserer Übertragung der authentische Text der Memoiren Garibaldis zugrunde. Da indes die vollständige Wiedergabe den Umfang eines Bandes der »Bibliothek wertvoller Memoiren« beträchtlich überschreiten würde, so mußte der erste Teil, die Schilderung der Jugend Garibaldis und seine Kämpfe und Abenteuer in Südamerika, fortfallen. Von dem Zeitpunkt der Rückkehr Garibaldis in sein Vaterland zu Anfang des Jahres 1848 an ist dagegen die Übertragung vollständig, abgesehen nur davon, daß vereinzelt einige störende Längen der Darstellung getilgt wurden, was durch Punkte in der Zeile angezeigt ist. Die Übertragung selbst hat sich bestrebt, die Schreibart Garibaldis nicht etwa nur dem Inhalt nach, sondern selbst im einzelnen Ausdruck, in der einzelnen Wendung, so genau wiederzugeben, wie es mit dem Geiste der deutschen Sprache sowie einem gewissen Fluß der Erzählung vereinbar schien.

Eine erste Fassung von den »Sieben Säulen der Weisheit« vollendete Lawrence 1919. Das einzige Exemplar des Manuskripts hat der Autor jedoch bei einer Zugreise verloren. Aus der Erinnerung verfaßte Lawrence bis 1920 eine zweite Version des Werkes und überarbeitete sie bis 1922. Später nahm Lawrence weitere Korrekturen an seinem Werk vor und ließ sich von Freunden überreden, eine gekürzte Fassung anzufertigen. Das Ergebnis war eine immer noch umfangreiche Version, die 1926 aufwendig gebunden und üppig illustriert mit erheblichem finanziellen Verlust für Lawrence an etwa 200 Subskribenten verkauft wurde. Um die Verluste wettzumachen, brachte Lawrence 1927 eine weiter gekürzte Version unter dem Titel »Revolt in the Desert« (Aufstand in der Wüste) für das breite Publikum heraus. Bernard Shaw und E. M. Forster sahen diese Fassung als das eigentliche Meisterwerk von T. E. Lawrence.

Liebe deinen bunten Vogel - das sind Worte, die immer passen, da ich einfach denke, dass sie über jeder noch so bekannten Philosophie stehen und jeden spirituellen Ansatz ersetzen. Kein noch so großer Geldkoffer kommt dem Wert eines knalligen Lachens nahe. Und wenn du mit diesem Lachen - oder was immer dir der jetzige Augenblick gerade vor die Nase setzt - ganz bewusst im Hier und Jetzt sein kannst, ist das unbezahlbar! Ab durch die Mitte heißt es in diesem Taschenbuch auch für Mitarbeiter von Millionenkonzernen, die versuchten, wie dumme kleine Kinder mir zu erklären, was Werte wohl sind. Frech, direkt und provokant mag dir mancher Satz erscheinen, der deine Wahrnehmung übertrifft. Kein Mensch kommt aus seiner Haut heraus, doch gibt es mehr, als dein Auge erfassen kann. Von Neapel hin bis zu ¿Ferkelklecksen¿ darfst du in diesem Buch ein buntes Treiben erleben und meinen Denkansätzen näherkommen. Flieg wie ein freier Vogel auch du deinem Sein näher und tauche in dich hinein, mehr und mehr. Noch näher - das geht!

She went and got her camera, and began to take photographs of the scenes of disarray. When she told Marc Marie what she had done, he said he had felt the same desire"--
