Описание: Disraeli is one of the most fascinating men of the nineteenth century. This masterly biography, written by an outstanding popular historian, concentrates on his intriguing private life. Superb politician, orator, writer and wit, Benjamin Disraeli was - according to Queen Victoria - 'the kindest Minister' she had ever had, who 'reached the top of the greasy pole' [in his own words] despite considerable antisemitism. He enjoyed many scandalous affairs before marrying a widow twelve years older than himself - an extremely eccentric woman to whom he remained deeply and touchingly devoted for the rest of his life. Disraeli had never intended to be a politician. He had begun his astonishing career by working unenthusiastically in a lawyer's office; he had tried unsuccessfully to found a newspaper; he had written a novel which lay unproductively in the publisher's office. A conspicuous dandy, sprightly, attentive and witty, he was attractive to women, enjoying many liaisons until he contracted a venereal disease in a St James's Street brothel. He married in 1839. 'Dizzy married me for my money,' Mary Anne used to say. 'But, if he had the chance again, he would marry me for love.' They lived in a large country house, Hughenden Manor, near High Wycombe, which he bought with mostly borrowed money, and soon became one of the most gifted of parliamentarians and as celebrated as any politician in England. As an antidote to his grief at his wife's death in 1872 he threw himself back into the political life, becoming Prime Minister for the second time in 1874, displacing Gladstone much to the Queen's delight.

Описание: Excerpt from Vivian Grey Critics have been hitherto content to assume that, because the author of Vivian Grey was con fronted with somewhat the same difficulties and problems as his hero, his plans for surmounting them were identical. Mr. T. P. O'connor in his Biograplzy of Disraeli, following the lines of an earlier work by a Mr. Macknight, has represented with malicious cleverness, but with an obviously conscious lack of discrimination, that in Vivian Grey's scheme of his career, and in its early steps we may see an exposition of Disraeli's own scheme and a forecast of his early political fortunes. No interpretation could be less probable, and few forecasts could be less consonant with the facts. A clever young man does not represent himself as entering on a course which he proceeds to trace to its inevitable failure, nor does the early political history of Disraeli in any way agree with that of Vivian Grey. On the basis of his own character and abilities, Disraeli has constructed a personality and a story which his imagination, in conjunction with his self-study, told him were possible. It is thus, as we shall see later, that he built up his principal characters from living originals; and this is why detailed keys to the so called portraits of distinguished men of the time are as misleading as the autobiographical assumption.
