{"product_id":"ben-hur-lew-wallace-9781434104076","title":"Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn first-century Judea, Jewish prince Judah Ben-Hur is betrayed by his childhood friend Messala and given a life sentence as a Roman galley slave. After Ben-Hur saves the life of his commander during a pirate attack, he returns to Galilee a free man but bent on revenge against Messala. His quest for vengeance turns into insurrection, but his life is eventually transformed through his encounters with the Christ. This best-selling novel of redemption has been translated into multiple languages and adapted for radio, stage, television, and several motion pictures. The 1959 movie starring Charlton Heston won eleven Academy Awards. As is often the case, however, the original novel tells a far better tale than the movie. \u003cem\u003eBen-Hur: A Tale of the Christ\u003c\/em\u003e is absolutely compelling. Lew Wallace's vivid attention to detail and superb writing style make the story as accessible and enjoyable today as when it was first published. Blessed by Pope Leo XIII---the first work of fiction to be so honored---Ben-Hur is one of the great works of American literature. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press, this edition is printed on archival-quality, acid-free paper for a lifetime of reading enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lew Wallace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1434104079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781434104076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Waking Lion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e55659 \/ Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (Unabridged)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lew Wallace","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980358615295,"sku":"9781434104076","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12ee1553-27d1-4e9a-ac3d-79f73733a253.jpg?v=1683249475","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ben-hur-lew-wallace-9781434104076","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
