Home / Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ
The novel “Ben-Hur” written by Lew Wallace was published in 1880. It is one of the most read book in the history of American literature and the source of inspiration for one of the most entertainment film in the world.
It is the age of Roman Empire and the Savior’s advent. The history of Jewish hero Ben-Hur, which culmination is his presence on the mount Golgotha and an appeal to the Christ, combines adventurism, sentimentality, entertainment and deep spiritual feeling. Ben-Hur is driven by an ambition and thirst for revenge – he dreams about becoming the war chief to destroy Roman oppressors of his homeland – Judea. But he lays down his weapon, forgives his enemies and spends the rest of his life doing good things.
