Disraeli (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025613222)

"Disraeli" is a masterful biographical study of one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in British political history. Written by the acclaimed biographer André Maurois, this work offers a vivid and penetrating portrait of Benjamin Disraeli, the man who rose from an outsider to become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and a confidant to Queen Victoria.

The narrative explores Disraeli's dual identity as both a brilliant statesman and a romantic novelist, capturing the wit, ambition, and strategic genius that defined his long career. Maurois delves into the complexities of Victorian politics, illustrating the fierce rivalries, particularly with William Gladstone, and the profound social changes of the era. Through elegant prose, the book examines Disraeli's role in shaping the British Empire and his lasting impact on the Conservative Party.

Rich in historical detail and psychological insight, "Disraeli" remains a definitive account of a life characterized by resilience and transformation. It is an essential read for those interested in political leadership, 19th-century history, and the art of the literary biography.
