Publisher's Synopsis
The Young Duke: A Moral Tale, Though Gay and Count Alargos: A Tragedy are two works by the renowned British author and politician Benjamin Disraeli. The Young Duke is a novel that tells the story of a young man named Coningsby who inherits a vast fortune and must navigate the complexities of high society. Along the way, he learns important lessons about love, loyalty, and the true meaning of wealth. Though the novel is often lighthearted and humorous, it also contains a strong moral message about the dangers of greed and the importance of living a virtuous life.Count Alargos, on the other hand, is a tragedy that explores the darker side of human nature. The play follows the story of a Spanish nobleman who becomes consumed by jealousy and revenge after his wife is unfaithful to him. As the Count's obsession grows, he becomes increasingly isolated and unhinged, leading to a tragic and violent conclusion.Together, The Young Duke and Count Alargos showcase Disraeli's skill as a writer and his ability to explore complex themes with both humor and gravitas.
