Sybil, or, The two nations by Benjamin Disraeli ( Book )
300 editions published between 1845 and 2012 in 4 languages and held by 3,627 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The book's publication in 1845 created a sensation, for its immediacy and readability brought the plight of the working classes sharply to the attention of the reading public.

Coningsby, or, the new generation by Benjamin Disraeli ( Book )
242 editions published between 1844 and 2007 in 4 languages and held by 2,334 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Coningsby tells of the rise of the idealistic movement known as Young England, a movement heralded by Disraeli, the purpose of which was to mitigate some of the horrors of the flourishing Industrial Revolution by strengthening the royal power against manufacturers. It is of importance in the history of politics as well as the novel since it was one of the first novels of politics published in England. In addition, containing as it does many pseudonyms and malicious portraits of such contemporaries of Disraeli as John Bright, Gladstone, and Theodore Hook, Coningsby is as well a comic masterpiece and a superb novel of society and manners.--From publisher description
