Čtivý portrét z pera předního britského historika a životopisce líčí životní osudy jedné z klíčových osobností britské politické scény minulého století. William Gladstone vstoupil jako poslanec na britskou politickou scénu už v roce 1832. Původně byl konzervativcem, ale jako stoupenec politiky svobodného obchodu přešel k liberálům, jejichž vůdcem se stal v šedesátých letech. V různých vládách působil jako ministr už od čtyřicátých let, až posléze mezi lety 1868-1894 po čtyřikrát zastával funkci předsedy vlády. Gladstoneův důraz na morální rozměr politiky se projevoval nejen na domácí půdě, ale i v zahraniční politice.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Churchill, a towering historical biography, available for the first time in paperback. William Gladstone was, with Tennyson, Newman, Dickens, Carlyle, and Darwin, one of the stars of nineteenth-century British life. He spent sixty-three of his eighty-nine years in the House of Commons and was prime minister four times, a unique accomplishment. From his critical role in the formation of the Liberal Party to his preoccupation with the cause of Irish Home Rule, he was a commanding politician and statesman nonpareil. But Gladstone the man was much more: a classical scholar, a wide-ranging author, a vociferous participant in all the great theological debates of the day, a voracious reader, and an avid walker who chopped down trees for recreation. He was also a man obsessed with the idea of his own sinfulness, prone to self-flagellation and persistent in the practice of accosting prostitutes on the street and attempting to persuade them of the errors of their ways. This full and deep portrait of a complicated man offers a sweeping picture of a tumultuous century in British history, and is also a brilliant example of the biographer’s art.
