1904. Two Volumes in One. Known as a dandy, a novelist, a brilliant debater and England's first and only Jewish prime minister, Disraeli (Earl of Beaconsfield) is best remembered for bringing India and the Suez Canal under control of the crown. Contarini Fleming contains a detailed account of Disraeli's mental breakdown and his attempt to cure himself by going on the Grand Tour. Scholars are only now realizing how true the book is to Disraeli's own experiences, hailing it as an early example of the writing cure.
