Ben-Hur
By Lew Wallace
Published by Ward Lock And Company Limited: London, Melbourne etc c1950 (undated)

" Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ by Lew Wallace is one of the great historical novels of the late 19th century, blending epic adventure with spiritual reflection against the backdrop of the Roman Empire at the time of Christ. The story follows Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince of Jerusalem, whose life is shattered by betrayal and injustice, leading to enslavement as a galley slave before a dramatic rise through endurance, skill, and moral resolve. Wallace vividly recreates the ancient world through sweeping set pieces—most famously the chariot race—while exploring themes of honour, revenge, faith, and redemption with narrative drive and emotional depth.

Running parallel to Judah's personal journey is the quiet, transformative presence of Jesus of Nazareth, whose teachings gradually reshape the novel's moral centre and Ben-Hur's understanding of justice and forgiveness. This Ward Lock "Royal Series" edition, published circa 1950, presents the classic in an accessible mid-20th-century format intended for younger and general readers, while preserving the grandeur and seriousness of Wallace's original vision. It remains a powerful example of historical fiction that unites spectacle with spiritual inquiry, appealing to collectors of classic literature, readers of historical epics, and those interested in religious and moral themes in fiction."
