Benjamin Disraeli

    21. Dezember 1804 – 19. April 1881

    Ein bedeutender britischer Politiker und Autor, der zweimal als Premierminister diente und einen wichtigen Einfluss auf die Politik des 19. Jahrhunderts hinterließ. Er ist besonders für seine intensive Rivalität mit einem politischen Gegner und seine Gunst bei Königin Victoria bekannt. Seine größten politischen Erfolge umfassen maßgebliche Beiträge zu einem wichtigen Reformgesetz und die Gründung der modernen Konservativen Partei. Obwohl seine literarischen Bestrebungen oft hinter seinen politischen Ambitionen zurückstanden, umfasst sein Werk sowohl Liebes- als auch politische Romane.

Well then, like practical men, they look to some result, and they get it.
