On the birthday of an outstanding politician the editors of the Fancy Journal have selected his best quotes.
Benjamin Disraeli is a writer and Prime Minister of Great Britain, whose scale of personality is difficult to overestimate. Undeservedly found himself in the shadow of his "political heir" Winston Churchill, he showed not hefty courage and adventurism in each of his undertakings. And this despite the fact that the origin of the future statesman hardly guaranteed him high ministerial posts. Benjamin was born into a wealthy Jewish family d'Israeli, at the age of 17 he changed his surname to a more neutral Disraeli and set off on an independent voyage. Before entering politics, the young man successfully realized himself in the literary field. In 1828, his debut novel, Vivian Grey, was published, the main character of which was a young dandy. The novel was favorably received in the secular society of London, but after the origin of the author was revealed, he was immediately boycotted. The purposeful Briton, ignoring criticism, continued his writing activity, writing a dozen more books, the pages of which he used to promote his own social and political views.
Queen Victoria and Benjamin Disraeli
He managed to get into parliament (from the Tory party) in 1837. Here he not only actively spoke, fiercely defending his point of view, but also continued to use his literary talent: the politician wrote reports on parliamentary sessions in an easy, journalistic manner and sent them to Queen Victoria. Easily stepping over the next rung of the career ladder - the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer - in 1868, Disraeli became Prime Minister of Great Britain. A consistent imperialist, whose nationalist views were quite radical even by those standards, in 1875 he acquired a controlling stake in the Suez Canal from Egypt without the sanction of Parliament, and a year later he proclaimed Queen Victoria Empress of India. Benjamin retired in 1880. A year later, the politician died.
