Benjamin Disraeli

    21. prosinec 1804 – 19. duben 1881

    Britský politik a spisovatel, který dvakrát sloužil jako premiér a zanechal nesmazatelnou stopu ve dvacátém století. Proslul svým politickým soupeřením a blízkým vztahem s královnou Viktorií. Jeho největší politické úspěchy zahrnují významný reformní zákon a formování moderní Konzervativní strany. Ačkoli jeho literární kariéra byla zastíněna politickými ambicemi, zanechal díla zahrnující romantické i politické romány.
