Description
Plantaganet Palliser, the Prime Minister of England, is a man of power and prestige, but his world is turned upside down by the arrival of Ferdinand Lopez, an exotic and charismatic figure who seems to be everywhere. Lopez's influence is undeniable, and Palliser's own wife, Lady Glencora, is drawn to him with equal fervour. As Palliser struggles to maintain his grip on power, he must confront the question of whether a morally scrupulous gentleman can truly lead effectively. This novel explores the complex web of social, sexual, and domestic politics that underpins the British government, raising fundamental questions about the nature of leadership and the human condition.
