About this book
Benjamin Disraeli's Sketches gathers three tales, a run of travel pieces and a political essay. The tales are The Carrier Pigeon, The Consul's Daughter and Walstein; or a Cure for Melancholy. The travel pieces move from Egypt and Thebes through Lebanon and Syria to the Bosphorus and Munich, and one records an interview with a great Turk. The last piece, The Spirit of Whiggism, runs to six chapters. The Carrier Pigeon begins at dusk in a valley where the castles of Charolois and Branchimont face each other, home to feuding families.
