    André Maurois was a pseudonym that became his legal name in 1947. During World War I he joined the French army and served as an interpreter and later a liaison officer to the British army. His first novel, Les silences du colonel Bramble, was a witty but socially realistic account of that experience. It was an immediate success in France.
    Disraeli and Gladstone have long been fixed in mind as iconographic rivals of British politics during the reign of Queen Victoria, but this brief, impressionistic biography by Andre Maurois gave me some sense of both men's characters.
    To make a subject truly live, to flesh out the subject in a full three dimensions, is a rare accomplishment indeed. Yet Maurois was more than equal to the task. Granted, Disraeli is a compelling figure. His ascent to ultimate political power as Prime Minister of Great Britain is a compelling story.
    Yet Maurois was more than equal to the task. Granted, Disraeli is a compelling figure. His ascent to ultimate political power as Prime Minister of Great Britain is a compelling story. But the story teller, too, must be equal to the task or the result is merely pedestrian. Maurois writes superb prose.
