Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Alroy: The Prince of the Captivity" by Benjamin Disraeli is a novel originally published in 1833. This fictionalised tale follows young David Alroy, who flees after killing a governor and embarks on a quest to find Solomon's sceptre and restore Jewish greatness. His journey leads him through desert dangers, forbidden love with a caliph's daughter, and military triumph. But as ambition clashes with tradition and loyalty fractures, Alroy must face whether personal desire can coexist with his destined role as liberator.
