Benhur,
Lew Wallace.
In ancient Jerusalem, Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish nobleman, is falsely accused of treason by his childhood friend, Messala.
Sentenced to slavery, Judah’s life is forever altered. He meets Jesus, who quenches his thirst, and later becomes a charioteer.
Judah’s quest for vengeance leads him to the iconic chariot race against Messala, where he emerges victorious.
Judah’s journey intertwines with the life of Jesus, from the Nativity to the Crucifixion. As Judah witnesses Jesus’ teachings and miracles, he begins to grasp the true meaning of forgiveness and redemption, transforming from a man consumed by hatred to one redeemed by faith.
The novel, one of the literary masterpieces of all time, has never stopped being published ever since the first edition in 1880.
