Lothair is torn between his desire for a life of adventure and his duty to his family and their social status. He embarks on a journey that takes him from England to Rome, where he becomes involved in the political and religious turmoil of the time.Along the way, Lothair encounters a cast of characters including a beautiful American heiress, a powerful Cardinal, and a mysterious woman who holds the key to his past. The novel explores themes of love, religion, politics, and the struggle between tradition and modernity.Disraeli's writing style is rich and descriptive, filled with vivid imagery and complex characters. He weaves together historical events and fictional narrative to create a compelling story that captures the spirit of the Victorian era. Lothair is a must-read for anyone interested in classic literature and the history of the 19th century.Lothair, though inexperienced and very ingenuous, was not devoid of a certain instinctive perception of men and things, which rendered it difficult for him to be an easy prey. His natural disposition, and his comparatively solitary education, had made him a keen observer, and he was one who mediated over his observations. But he was naturally generous and sensible of kindness; and this was a favourite companion --next to Bertram his most intimate.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
