A landmark biography, a masterpiece of the genre, and the best work of André Maurois. With his great art of writing, both in the narrative and in the structure of the book, the author introduces us to the life of one of the greatest and most complex political figures who have ever existed, while unfolding before the reader’s eyes an entire era of England’s history, the era of greatest splendor of what began to be called the British Empire. André Maurois offers us a vivid history of who has been considered the greatest political figure, and takes us to be moved by the two most endearing facets of this difficult man: the tenderness of affection that he and his wife profess to each other, and the confident treatment, above a protocol jealously observed, that Queen Victoria and her Prime Minister maintain until his death.
