The Wondrous Tale of Alroy V2: The Rise of Iskander (1833)

The Wondrous Tale of Alroy V2: The Rise of Iskander is a novel written by Benjamin Disraeli in 1833. It is a historical fiction that tells the story of David Alroy, a Jewish prince who leads a rebellion against the Muslim rulers of Persia in the 12th century. In this second volume, Alroy has succeeded in his rebellion and has become the ruler of Persia, taking the name Iskander. However, he faces new challenges as he tries to maintain his power and unite the various factions of his empire. Along the way, he encounters a cast of characters, including a beautiful Christian princess and a powerful Muslim sultan. The novel is full of political intrigue, romance, and adventure, and offers a unique perspective on the relationship between Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the Middle Ages. Disraeli, who was himself Jewish, wrote the novel during a time of increasing anti-Semitism in Europe, and it can be seen as a response to those attitudes.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
