Benjamin Disraeli was a British statesman and novelist. He was Prime Minister in 1868 and 1874. He gave the Conservative Party a policy of Tory democracy and imperialism. His travels furnished him with material for the Oriental descriptions he used in later novels and influenced his attitude toward India, Egypt, and Turkey in the 1870s. He mainly wrote romances, of which Sybil and Vivian Grey are perhaps his best-known works. The Rise of Iskander was published in 1834. The Rise of Iskander begins with a stranger standing on the Acropolis. "The dress of the stranger, although gorgeous, was, however, certainly not classic. A crimson shawl was wound round his head and glittered with a trembling aigrette of diamonds. His vest which set tight to his form, was of green velvet, richly embroidered with gold and pearls. Over this he wore a very light jacket of crimson velvet, equally embroidered, and lined with sable. He wore also the full white camese common among the Albanians; and while his feet were protected by sandals, the lower part of his legs was guarded by greaves of embroidered green velvet. From a broad belt of scarlet leather peeped forth the jewelled hilts of a variety of daggers, and by his side was an enormous scimitar, in a scabbard of chased silver."

I think this was an early effort at writing; that being said, it is a rousing story. The characters are somewhat one-dimensional, but the action and descriptions are full of life, and show promise for his future works.

Benjamin Disraeli said once that if he wanted to read a novel, he would write one. And I believe there were no novels about Scanderbeg at that time. There was a biography by Marin Barleti, a long epic poem by Margherita Sarrocchi (Sanderbeide), and some plays by some British authors, and some operas (one of them by Vivaldi, before or after, I am not sure), and historical books, but there were no novels. And I guess he decided to write a novel about the great European Hero, the famous Scanderbeg. All British playrights before Disraeli tended to praise Scanderbeg as the Patriot. Disraeli is no exception, even though in one verse he shows that he is aware that Scanderbeg is fighting for the Cross, the Country, and the Crown. There are three main male characters in his novel, The Prince of Athens (Nikos), the Prince of Epirus (or of Albania, chapter 19, Scanderbeg), and the King of Hungary (Huniades) who has a daughter. There is a love triangle between the Prince of Athens, Prince of Epirus and Hungarian Princess. In the end..., well... I am not going to tell you who gets the noble Princess. This novel seems as melodramatic as other British plays about Scanderbeg. Only the first chapters are based on factual history. This novel had a lot of success and went through several editions. The voice of the author is very impressive. It's fun to read.
