Ben-Hur

By: Lew Wallace

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Within a few years of the publication of Ben-Hur in 1880, it became Harper’s number one bestselling title. In the years since, it has been produced on the stage, adapted for the screen, radio, and television, and translated into more than twenty languages—and gone on to become one of the bestselling books of all time. Lew Wallace’s epic story about one man’s encounter with Christ has captivated generations, and now Joe Wheeler reveals to readers just why Ben-Hur has such power to fascinate and enthrall. Offering a brief biographical sketch of Wallace, an in-depth introduction to the text, vintage illustrations from the 1908 edition, and thought-provoking discussion questions to help readers get the most out of the story, this edition adds richness to the experience of reading an American classic.
