Vivian Grey

This antiquarian book contains Benjamin Disraeli’s 1826 novel, “Vivian Grey”. It is the story of a young man and his ruthless attempts to garner political power through manipulation and Machiavellian methods in early nineteenth-century England. The novel explores the political and social attitudes of the time in England, and analyses in detail the avenues of advancement in such a restrictive social structure. This book is highly recommended for fans of political fiction, and it is not to be missed by collectors of Disraeli’s work. Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881) was a British politician and author, who served as Prime Minister on two separate occasions. He played a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party, defining its policies and its broad outreach. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
