Coningsby, Abridged Publisher's Summary
An idealistic heir comes of age in the furnace of Victorian politics. Harry Coningsby—Eton-bred, brilliant, and headstrong—discovers a calling larger than party labels as Britain reels from the 1832 Reform Act. Guided by the enigmatic financier Sidonia and tested in the glittering, treacherous orbit of his grandfather Lord Monmouth, he rejects hollow Tory–Whig games to champion principle over patronage. His forbidden love for Edith Millbank—the self-made magnate's daughter and his family's sworn adversary—propels him into scandal, sudden disinheritance, and a fight to define his future.This vivid abridgment distills Benjamin Disraeli's romance, wit, and statecraft into a swift, compelling listen. From schoolboy camaraderie and drawing-room duels to rousing hustings, Coningsby's journey spans friendship, faith, and the birth of modern conservatism.
Narrator Ryan Durham brings Disraeli's world to life with crisp character work and stirring oratory, illuminating a classic that still speaks to how nations—and the young—reinvent themselves. Perfect for fans of historical fiction, political drama, and star-crossed romance, Coningsby, Abridged delivers a timeless tale of conviction rewarded: a voice found, a Parliament won, and a heart claimed.
