Benjamin Disraeli

    21 décembre 1804 – 19 avril 1881

    Un éminent politicien et auteur britannique, il a servi deux fois comme Premier ministre et a laissé une marque significative sur la politique du XIXe siècle. Il est particulièrement connu pour sa rivalité intense avec un opposant politique et pour sa faveur auprès de la reine Victoria. Ses principales réalisations politiques comprennent des contributions essentielles à une loi de réforme importante et la création du parti conservateur moderne. Bien que ses activités littéraires aient souvent été secondaires à ses ambitions politiques, son œuvre englobe des romans tant romantiques que politiques.
