Beschreibung

This vintage book contains the second volume of Benjamin Disraeli's 1880 novel, "Endymion". It was the last novel produced by Disraeli before his death, and tells the tale of a political romance set between 1819 and 1859 - with autobiographical leanings. This volume is highly recommended for fans of political fiction, and constitutes a must-read for lovers of Disraeli's work. Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) was a British politician and author, who served as Prime Minister on two separate occasions.

It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Autor

Benjamin Disraeli was a British statesman and Conservative politician who was born on December 21, 1804, and died on April 19, 1881. He was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice. He was one of the most important people in making the modern Conservative Party, helping to set its policies and define its wide reach. People remember Disraeli for his strong voice in world affairs, his political fights with William Ewart Gladstone, the leader of the Liberal Party, and his one-nation conservatism, also called "Tory democracy." He made the Conservatives the party that most people thought of when they heard the words "British Empire" and "military action to grow it," which were both things that British voters liked. Disraeli began writing novels in 1826, and his last one, Endymion, came out just before he died at the age of 76. Over the course of his life, Disraeli's writing and politics influenced each other. This made him "one of the most prominent figures in Victorian public life" and led to a lot of commentaries. Disraeli thought about running for office after he became a Christian. Since Sampson Gideon in 1770, when he was elected as an MP, there have been Jewish MPs.
