Benjamin Disraeli

    21 de diciembre de 1804 – 19 de abril de 1881

    Un destacado político y autor británico que sirvió dos veces como Primer Ministro y dejó una marca significativa en la política del siglo XIX. Es particularmente recordado por su intensa rivalidad con un oponente político y su posición favorable ante la Reina Victoria. Sus principales logros políticos incluyen contribuciones instrumentales a una importante ley de reforma y el establecimiento del partido conservador moderno. Si bien sus actividades literarias a menudo fueron secundarias a sus ambiciones políticas, su obra abarca tanto novelas románticas como políticas.
