This is BEN-HUR, A TALE OF THE CHRIST: a tale told by a general of the Civil War, filmed twice in the succeeding century -- and still incredibly alive. It is a story of oppression and rebellion, of friendship turned to hate -- and of religious revelation. It is a tale of war on land and at sea, set against a backdrop as big as the world -- a backdrop big as all our souls. (Jacketless library hardcover.)
