Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Benjamin Disraeli, Vol. 1 of 2: An Unconventional Biography
Israeli the Man - Disraeli as son, brother, husband, friend - is the theme of this book. It is an informal study of Temperament; in its way and in his own words, A Psychological Romance. A record of his public acts - not here attempted, except so far as those acts illustrate his personality would be nothing short of a History of the reign of Victoria. Our England was, indeed, his chess board; and I take for granted in the reader, or dispense with it, an acquaintance with the progress and issue of the game, of the detailed moves of his pawns, his knights, his bishops, his Queen even. What Ihave striven to make evident is the motive that informed the hand - not the hand of an automaton.
