Benjamin Disraeli

Exploring the life of a prominent Jewish convert, the book sheds light on how he was perceived by both the Jewish community he distanced himself from and the Christian society that rejected him. It delves into the creation of myths within the Jewish collective memory and examines their influence on anti-Semitic narratives. Additionally, the work addresses themes of ethnic identity and the challenges of minority acceptance in a diverse society, offering a fresh perspective on a complex Victorian figure.
