Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ chronicles the journey of Judah
Ben-Hur and the life of Jesus, from Ben-Hur's 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-Hur's
popularity and esteem have given rise to numerous stage and film
adaptations since the novel's first publication in 1880. This
replica of the beautifully illustrated "Player's 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. He worked as an attorney, was elected to the State Senate
of Indiana, and served as a Union general in the American Civil War
before writing his most famous book, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ.
His other works include The Boyhood of Christ, Life of Gen. Ben
Harrison, and The Prince of India; or, Why Constantinople Fell, as
well as an autobiography and several other titles. Wallace also
served as governor of the New Mexico Territory.
