Description
"Lothair" by Earl of Beaconsfield Benjamin Disraeli is a novel published in 1870. A wealthy young Scottish nobleman finds himself torn between three compelling women, each representing different religious and political allegiances: the Church of England, Roman Catholicism, and revolutionary idealism. His journey takes him from English aristocratic society to the battlefields of Italian unification, and ultimately to Jerusalem's spiritual crossroads. This sensational work sparked "Lothair-mania" across Britain and America, selling thousands of copies within days of publication. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
