Benjamin Disraeli

    21 dicembre 1804 – 19 aprile 1881

    Un eminente politico e autore britannico, servì due volte come Primo Ministro e lasciò un segno significativo nella politica del XIX secolo. È particolarmente ricordato per la sua intensa rivalità con un avversario politico e per il suo favore presso la Regina Vittoria. I suoi principali successi politici includono contributi fondamentali a un'importante legge di riforma e la creazione del moderno Partito Conservatore. Sebbene le sue attività letterarie fossero spesso secondarie alle sue ambizioni politiche, il suo lavoro comprende sia romanzi romantici che politici.
