Ben-hur
About This Novel
"Ben-Hur (English Version)" was published in the early 1980s. After the work was published, it was recognized as an influential novel in the 19th century, especially having some influence on Christians. The author uses descriptive techniques to tell in detail the adventures of a young man named Judah Ben-Hur. This man is a fictional historical figure created by the author, a Jewish prince who was captured as a slave by the Romans at the beginning of the first century and enslaved in Jerusalem. It was in Jerusalem that the prince became a charioteer and a Christian. This story coincides with the story of Jesus told by Judas. Jesus also happened to be from the same area and about the same age. The novel reproduces Christian themes such as "betrayal", "faith" and "redemption". And these themes finally end with "love" and "suffering".
