This tiny tome is a celebration of his extraordinary life in the service of his subjects, as well as a compilation of his best (and worst) one-liners, in his own inimitable style.

Cuando este cayo en desgracia Quevedo sufrio destierro y prision, pero regreso a la corte tras la muerte de Felipe III. Durante anos tuvo buenas relaciones con Felipe IV, aunque no consiguio ganarse la simpatia de su favorito, el conde-duque de Olivares. Se especula que dejo bajo la servilleta del monarca el memorial contra Olivares titulado Catolica, sacra, real Majestad, lo que motivo su detencion en 1639. Se cree, en cambio, que termino en un calabozo del convento de San Marcos de Leon, donde estuvo hasta 1643, victima de una conspiracion. Murio en Villanueva de los Infantes.

The wit and wisdom of Benjamin Disraeli, British statesman and twice Prime Minister of the United Kingdom - with a new foreword by Lord Lexden. Disraeli was one of the least orthodox of Prime Ministers. He was an adventurer who fought his way to 'the top of the greasy pole' in a blaze of controversy, and became Queen Victoria's favourite statesman. He was a novelist and a wit as well as politician. He was a brilliant orator. Like Byron he was both a romantic and a cynic. His aphorisms have become part of the discourse of political life. This collection is based on his novels, letters and speeches. He was never dull, but he was fundamentally serious behind the firework display, and he had a lasting influence on the course of party history. Seen by some of the founder of 'one-nation' conservatism, Disraeli is today one of the most co-opted political figures of history. For those seeking clarity on Disraeli's views, this collection will confound and surprise.
