Benjamin de Israeli: Who Is This Uncircumcised Philistine (1881)

Benjamin De Israeli: Who Is This Uncircumcised Philistine is a book written by Oedipus and David in 1881. The book is a biographical account of Benjamin Disraeli, a British statesman and novelist who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice in the 19th century. The title of the book is inspired by a biblical story in which David, a young shepherd, defeats the giant Philistine warrior Goliath, who is described as ""uncircumcised"". The authors use this metaphor to describe Disraeli's rise to power as a Jew in a predominantly Christian society. The book explores Disraeli's personal and political life, including his family background, education, literary career, and political achievements. The authors also analyze Disraeli's ideology and philosophy, particularly his views on imperialism, conservatism, and social reform. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in British history, politics, and literature, as well as Jewish identity and cultural assimilation.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
