Interesting fiction from a statesman's perspective Divided into 89 short chapters, it starts slowly.Religion, which forms to be the overarching theme of the book, is not seriously discussed until Chapter 9.As a result, the reader unfamiliar with the book's subject matter will be somewhat surprised by the quick progression into religious controversy which follows the extensive chronicling of Lothair's social engagements and family history in the earlier chapters. However, to a large extent this foreshadows the pattern of the book as a whole.Although some intermingling of these two themes inevitably takes place, chapters seem devoted either to description of events at which Lothair is in attendance, or to discussion of the philosophical merits of religions and/or atheistic structures. Often, several chapters in a row will be devoted to one or the other. As was pointed out at the time of publication: "There is no deep conviction, no ardent purpose, no over-mastering sentiment..." (H.T. Tuckerman, 1870) I found it, in this respect, oddly similar to Huxley's "Brave New World", where characters often exist largely to put forward dogma, with little ultimate narrative adjudication.This is, however, certainly not a criticism of either book; indeed, perhaps this challenges the reader to themself assess the relative merits of the positions advanced. In later chapters, when Lothair is travelling outside England, descriptions of landscapes - physical, political and historical - are all proffered, adding a third (although minor) theme to the two I described above. Finally, whatever one makes of the merits of Disraeli's religious dialogues or social descriptions, for a reader in the early 21st century it is fascinating to reflect upon what issues preoccupied the English (and perhaps European) polity in the mid 19th century.The device of the novel, in my opinion, provides a very helpful and time-saving medium to display these. Some brief examples suffice: All of these would have been interesting no matter who the author.Disraeli's personal touch is one of ambiguity in this reader's view.The book's plot is midly shambolic.However, there are some very good gems to be found within.My personal favourite is: "If every man were straightforward in his opinions, there would be no conversation.The fun of talk is to find out what a man really thinks, and then contrast it with the enormous lies he has been telling at dinner, and perhaps all his life." In short, this is a book worth reading.It may not be a masterpiece, but it is written with wit and learning in various parts, and provides a quick retrospective into a turbulent time in European history. ...
