Enter the brilliant, restless world of Benjamin Disraeli: novelist, statesman, wit, and chronicler of ambition, power, faith, society, and the strange machinery of England itself.

The Benjamin Disraeli Library presents his novels in full, restoring the splendour, intrigue, romance, and political imagination of one of the Victorian age’s most extraordinary voices. Here are ruined abbeys and rising factories, aristocrats and adventurers, prophets and politicians; an England divided, transformed, and forever conspiring.

For those who suspect that society is a drama, politics a romance, and history something more dangerous than either.
