About This Item
Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ is a novel by Lew Wallace, published by Harper & Brothers on November 12, 1880. Considered "the most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century",[1] it became a best-selling American novel, surpassing Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) in sales
The story recounts in descriptive detail the adventures of Judah Ben-Hur, a fictional Jewish prince from Jerusalem, who is enslaved by the Romans at the beginning of the 1st century and becomes a charioteer and a Christian. Running in parallel with Judah's narrative is the unfolding story of Jesus, who comes from the same region and is a similar age.[4] The novel reflects themes of betrayal, conviction, and redemption, with a revenge plot that leads to a story of love and compassion. Stated: New York Harper & Collins, Franklin Square 1887.
Inscription: TO THE WIFE OF MY YOUTH Who Still Abides with me, indicating a First Edition and Second printing.
