Autorenporträt
Benjamin Disraeli, born on December 21, 1804, was a British statesman, Conservative politician, and writer who became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice. He was the son of Isaac D'Israeli, a prominent writer and historian, and Maria Basevi D'Israeli. Disraeli played a crucial role in shaping the modern Conservative Party and is best known for his political philosophy of one-nation conservatism, or Tory democracy, which emphasized social reform alongside traditional values. Disraeli's political career was marked by his rivalry with Liberal leader William Ewart Gladstone, with whom he had numerous debates and conflicts. His leadership helped strengthen Britain's global influence, particularly in imperial matters. In addition to his political career, Disraeli was an accomplished writer. His early novels, such as Vivian Grey (1826), Popanilla (1828), and The Young Duke (1831), offered satirical critiques of British society and politics. Disraeli's literary works were an important aspect of his public life, reflecting his political views and sharp social commentary. He passed away on April 19, 1881, leaving a lasting impact on both British politics and literature.
