Ben Hur
Ben Hur
Author: Lew Wallace
A spiritual tale of the quest for love, the recovery of identity and patrimony, Ben-Hur never fails to delight in its detail and realism. As David Mayer's introduction makes explicit, Ben-Hur is marked by traces of contemporary issues and American Victorian concerns and tensions which shed important light on social and cultural history.

I wasn't sure I'd like the book since it had been written about 130 years ago. Too often books of that era tend to be overly sentimental or preachy. I was pleasantly surprised that the book was very well written. I found it be pretty historically accurate with a nice plot development. It was a very nice quick read.
