Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, (1804 – 1881) was a British statesman and Conservative politician who twice served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He played a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party, defining its policies and its broad outreach. Disraeli is remembered for his influential voice in world affairs, his political battles with the Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone, and his one-nation conservatism or "Tory democracy". He made the Conservatives the party most identified with the British Empire, and military action to expand it, both of which were popular among British voters at the time. He is the only British prime minister to have been of Jewish origin. He was also a novelist, publishing works of fiction even as prime minister. The renowned poet and critic Adam Kirsch here looks at Disraeli as a novelist as well as a statesman, recognizing that the outsider Jew who became one of the world's most powerful men was his own greatest "character"., Schocken, 2008., 0<

New York, Schocken, 257 p. Hardcover with dust jacket. Lediglich der Schutzumschlag ist leicht berieben, sonst ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar / Only the dust jacket is slightly rubbed, otherwise a very good and clean copy. - Benjamin Disraeli, 1. Earl of Beaconsfield, KG, PC (* 21. Dezember 1804 in London; ? 19. April 1881 in Mayfair), war ein konservativer britischer Staatsmann und erfolgreicher Romanschriftsteller. Zweimal, 1868 und von 1874 bis 1880, bekleidete er das Amt des britischen Premierministers. (Wikipedia) - A dandy, a best-selling novelist, and a man of political and sexual intrigue, Benjamin Disraeli was one of the most captivating figures of the nineteenth century. His flirtation with proto-Zionism, his ideas about power and empire, and his fantasies about the Middle East remain prophetically relevant today. How a man who was born a Jew?and who remained in the eyes of his countrymen a member of a despised minority?managed to become prime minister of England seems even today nothing short of miraculous. In this compelling biography, renowned poet and critic Adam Kirsch looks at Disraeli as a novelist as well as a statesman, recognizing that the outsider Jew who became one of the world's most powerful men was his own greatest character. Though baptized by his father at the age of twelve, Disraeli was seen?and saw himself?as a Jew. But he created an idea of Jewishness to rival the British notion of aristocracy. Disraeli was a figure of fascinating contradictions: an archconservative who benefited from England's liberal attitudes, a baptized Christian who saw Jewishness as a matter of racial superiority, a perennial outsider who dreamed of glory for England, which, in the words of one contemporary, became for Disraeli "the Israel of his imagination."
