Description
Vivian Grey is a novel written by Benjamin Disraeli, also known as the Earl of Beaconsfield. It was first published in 1826 and is a satirical work that explores the corruption and hypocrisy of British politics during the early 19th century. The story follows the life of the eponymous protagonist, Vivian Grey, a young man with a thirst for power and ambition. Grey is determined to climb the social ladder and become a member of the British aristocracy. He uses his wit and cunning to manipulate those around him, including politicians, socialites, and even members of the royal family. Throughout the novel, Grey is constantly scheming and maneuvering to gain more power and influence. He forms alliances with various individuals and political factions, but also faces betrayal and setbacks along the way. As the story progresses, Grey becomes increasingly disillusioned with the corrupt nature of British politics and begins to question his own motivations and values. The novel ultimately explores themes of ambition, power, and morality, and offers a sharp critique of the political and social structures of 19th century Britain. Vivian Grey is considered a seminal work of British literature and a landmark in the development of the ""political novel"" genre. It is also notable for its wit, humor, and sharp social commentary.by The Earl of Beaconsfield (and updated version from "" The English Comedie Humaine, Second Series"").This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
