Özet

A classic of faith, fortitude, and inspiration, this faithful New Testament tale combines the events of the life of Jesus with grand historical spectacle in the exciting story of Judah of the House of Hur, a man who finds extraordinary redemption for himself and his family.

Judah Ben-Hur lives as a rich Jewish prince and merchant in Jerusalem at the beginning of the first century. His old friend, Messala, arrives as commanding officer of the Roman legions. They become bitter enemies. Because of an unfortunate accident, Ben-Hur is sent as a slave in the mines, while his family is sent to leprosy caves. As Messala is dying from being crushed in a chariot race, he reveals where Ben-Hur's family is. On the road to find them, Ben-Hur meets the Christ as he is on the road to Golgotha to be crucified. That day changes Ben-Hur's life forever, for that is the day he becomes a believer.

A masterful classic. The film does no justice to the rich depth of knowledge and understanding of the author to the subject matter. I was genuinely saddened to finish the book and long to find similar.

An excellent book well told

Great story but ending very abrupt, as if ran out of time to tell it!

watch out for the ending!

I loved the Charlton Heston movie and as it is also mentioned in Anne of Green Gables I thought it was high time I actually read it. It is incredibly long and some of the extra bits that were not included in the movie; Iris’ long stories etc don’t really add anything to the story

Very long & windy

The story varies in many areas from the film. The narrator is clear and very good. There are long tedious speeches in places and I nearly stopped listening early on. Thanks for the forward button. Iris is incredibly annoying and I wanted her to disappear and just stop talking. I felt it ended very abruptly and seemed unfinished. So we had all the Iris tedium only to have the final section lacking with no full explanation of the ending events - Judah and Esther, and the resurrection for example. After seeing the film one could not help but imagine Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd in their parts. The book does include far more about the birth in Bethlehem, and last days of Jesus in Jerusalem, which did add to the story, together with a few new characters which I cannot recall being in the film version.

Quite different from the film but mostly enjoyable

I liked the historical detail. I disliked the religious propaganda.

This book could have benefitted from having an unscrupulous editor.

Good, not great
