Book excerpt: 'The Wondrous Tale of Alroy' by Benjamin Disraeli is a historical novel set in 12th-century Middle East, depicting the life of David Alroy, who becomes the Prince of Captivity on his eighteenth birthday. Fleeing after killing a governor who assaulted his sister, Alroy meets the mystic Jabaster, who reveals that he is destined to restore the Jews to their former greatness by finding Solomon's scepter. Alroy is kidnapped but saved when his captors learn he is a Jew, then rescued from the desert by a Kurd. This novel is significant for being Disraeli's only work with a distinctive Hebrew subject, and for portraying his "ideal ambition".
