Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ chronicles the journey of Judah Ben-Hur and the life of Jesus, from Ben-Hurs quest for vengeance against the Romans and his search for his imprisoned family to the birth of Jesus in the manger and the Crucifixion. Cleverly connecting two storylines to create both an exciting tale of adventure - with shipwrecks, chariot races, and duels - and a compelling story of love and spiritual growth, Ben-Hur has continued to engage readers and entertain audiences for more than a century. Once the best-selling and most widely read American novel, and the first work of fiction to be blessed by a Pope, Ben-Hurs popularity and esteem have given rise to numerous stage and film adaptations since the novels first publication in 1880. This replica of the beautifully illustrated Players Edition features nearly fifty images of scenes and characters from the play that will surely delight any reader of this classic piece of historical fiction.LEWIS LEW WALLACE (1827-1905) was born in Brookville, Indiana.
