Böcker av Benjamin Disraeli

The Young Duke - a moral tale though gay is the third novel written by Benjamin Disraeli who would later become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Despite its moderate success, Disraeli came to dislike the novel which was a hindrance to his political career. Disraeli started writing The Young Duke in late 1829, completing it in March 1830, as a means to finance his upcoming Grand Tour. "The Young Duke" contains content critical of features of its author''s future lifestyle, thus hindering Disraeli''s subsequent political career. Ironically one of these was the concept of a Grand Tour, which in Disraeli''s case was to be financed by the proceeds from the book. Disraeli is also critical of aristocratic dinner parties and the people who attend them.

Sybil traces the plight of the working classes of England. The "two nations" of its subtitle refers to the huge economic and social gap between the privileged few and the deprived working classes. Disraeli was interested in dealing with the horrific conditions in which the majority of England''s working classes lived - or, what is generally called the Condition of England question. The book is a novel with a thesis - which was meant to create a furor over the squalor that was plaguing England''s working class cities.

The wit and wisdom of Benjamin Disraeli, British statesman and twice Prime Minister of the United Kingdom - with a new foreword by Lord Lexden.

Coningsby is the first of Disraeli's trilogy of political novels set against a background of real events in England following the enactment of the Whigs' Reform Bill in 1832. The story follows the fortunes of Harry Coningsby - the orphaned grandson of the Marquis of Monmouth - from a boy at Eton to a young man of twenty-two. The luxurious life of the aristocracy, with their balls and lavish entertainments, is part of Coningsby's heritage but he is a serious and thoughtful hero, the accepted leader of the "New Generation" who, unlike their more laissez-faire elders, recognise the need for social and political change in a newly industrialised nation. Disenchanted with both Whigs and Tories, Coningsby sets out to forge a new political force, one that aims to reinvigorate Britain's three great institutions - the monarchy, the Church and the people. The author's voice rings loud and clear here and also through his other central character, Sidonia, a wealthy and highly accomplished Jew who is both a man of the world and a man of no nation, a position that gives him unique insights into human nature and politics. If Coningsby wants change, advises Sidonia, then he should revive the national spirit and aim to inspire: "To believe in the heroic makes heroes." Bold as he is, the path is a thorny one for Coningsby, especially when he falls in love with a beautiful woman from the "new money" class. Disraeli's solutions for inept political systems may belong to another era but his insightfully drawn characters - the self-serving fixer, the bloated elitist, the clever manipulator of events and public opinion - live on today and will ever endure. In that sense, Coningsby is timeless.
