Vivian Grey is a novel written by the British politician and author, Benjamin Disraeli. It was first published in 1826 and is considered to be one of Disraeli's most significant works. The novel follows the life of the eponymous protagonist, Vivian Grey, as he navigates the complex and often treacherous world of British politics and society.The story begins with Vivian as a young man, eager to make his mark on the world. He is ambitious and intelligent, but also somewhat naive and inexperienced. Over the course of the novel, he rises through the ranks of society, using his wit and charm to win over influential people and gain their support.As Vivian climbs the social ladder, he becomes increasingly embroiled in the world of politics. He becomes a member of parliament and begins to work closely with powerful figures in the government. However, he soon discovers that the world of politics is not as straightforward as he had imagined, and he must navigate a complex web of alliances, rivalries, and personal agendas.Throughout the novel, Vivian also grapples with his own personal relationships. He falls in love with a woman named Lady Madeleine Trevor, but their relationship is complicated by the fact that she is already engaged to another man. Vivian also forms close friendships with several other characters, including the eccentric Lord Beaconsfield and the charming Lady Julia Knighton.Overall, Vivian Grey is a gripping and entertaining novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of British politics and society in the early 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, politics, or literature.His malice was accompanied too by a tact, which could not have been expected from his vulgar mind, and which, at the same time, could not have been produced by the experience of one in his situation. It was quite evident to the whole community that his conduct was dictated by another mind, and that that mind was one versed in all the secrets of a school-boy's life, and acquainted with all the workings of a school-boy's mind: a species of knowledge which no pedagogue in the world ever yet attained. There was no difficulty in discovering whose was the power behind the throne. Vivian Grey was the perpetual companion of Mallett in his walks, and even in the school; he shunned also the converse of every one of the boys.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
