Description

'The enemy of man is man, my brother'

In first-century Judea, Ben-Hur lives like a prince. But his world falls apart when he is betrayed by his best friend Messala, convicted without trial, and sentenced to life as a galley slave. Kept alive by his passion for vengeance, after three gruelling years Ben-Hur escapes, returning to Judea to train as a charioteer, and to challenge Messala in a deadly race to avenge his honour . . . 

One of the best-selling books of all time, Ben-Hur weaves biblical history and rich adventure into a truly epic tale of betrayal and revenge, set during the life of Christ.
