Publisher's Synopsis
Tancred is a novel written by Benjamin Disraeli, which was first published in 1847. The book is set in the Middle East and follows the journey of Tancred, a young and idealistic British nobleman who travels to Palestine in search of spiritual enlightenment. Tancred is fascinated by the culture, religion, and politics of the region and becomes embroiled in a series of political intrigues and religious conflicts. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including a beautiful Jewish woman named Eva, a powerful Arab sheikh named Fakredeen, and a mysterious Christian monk named Paraclete. Through his experiences, Tancred learns about the complexities of the Middle East and the challenges of reconciling different cultures and belief systems. The book is notable for its vivid descriptions of the landscapes and people of the region, as well as for its exploration of themes such as imperialism, Orientalism, and religious identity.A fresh illustration of the advantages of our parliamentary constitution!
