Ben-Hur - Lew Wallace - Bog

This famous Religious-Historical Romance with its mighty story, brilliant pageantry, thrilling action and deep religious reverence, hardly requires an outline, for every one is familiar with the "Star of Bethlehem and The Three Wise Men," the wonderful description of the Chariot Race and Christ Healing the sick on the Mount of Olives. The whole world has placed Ben-Hur on a height of preeminence which no other novel of its time has reached. The clashing of rivalry and the deepest human passions, the perfect reproduction of brilliant Roman life, and the tense, fierce atmosphere of the arena have kept their deep fascination.
