Sybil (Illustrated)

Considered one of the top twenty novels of all time by The Guardian, Sybil is a masterful work that tackles the extreme differences between Britain's rich and poor in the nineteenth century. Disraeli served twice as British Prime Minister and was deeply concerned about such issues. By setting them to the backdrop of a romantic novel featuring an enthralling love story between an aristocrat and Sybil, a working class girl, he was able to communicate his radical political ideas to a far broader readership than usual.
Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been when first published well over 150 years ago, the novel is one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world. This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is beautifully illustrated with a number of atmospheric historical paintings that reflect the mood of the novel.
