Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"The Infernal Marriage" by Earl of Beaconsfield Benjamin Disraeli is a novel published in 1834. Set in the Greek underworld, this satirical work recounts the marriage of Pluto and Proserpine, blending classical mythology with sharp political commentary. Disraeli modeled his gods and mythological figures on prominent politicians of his era, transforming ancient tales into clever social critique. The story follows palace intrigue, journeys to Elysium, and encounters with defeated Titans, all while exploring themes of power, political change, and the spirit of the age.
