Lothair (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419131332)

Lothair is a novel written by Benjamin Disraeli, an acclaimed British statesman and author. The book follows the story of a young man named Lothair, who is the heir to a wealthy and influential family in England. Lothair's journey begins when he falls in love with a beautiful Catholic woman named Theodora, despite his Protestant upbringing. This love affair sets him on a path of self-discovery and spiritual exploration as he struggles to reconcile his love for Theodora with his family's expectations and societal norms.As Lothair navigates his romantic and personal challenges, he becomes embroiled in a political conspiracy involving the Catholic Church and the British aristocracy. The novel explores themes of love, religion, politics, and the intersection of power and morality. Disraeli's writing is characterized by his wit, humor, and satirical commentary on Victorian society.Overall, Lothair is a sweeping and engaging novel that offers a unique perspective on the social and political landscape of 19th-century England. It is a must-read for fans of Victorian literature and those interested in the intersection of politics and religion in historical fiction.Lothair, though inexperienced and very ingenuous, was not devoid of a certain instinctive perception of men and things, which rendered it difficult for him to be an easy prey. His natural disposition, and his comparatively solitary education, had made him a keen observer, and he was one who mediated over his observations. But he was naturally generous and sensible of kindness; and this was a favourite companion --next to Bertram his most intimate.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
