Table of Contents
The broad sweep of the novel is a dramatic depiction of Imperial Rome and includes a sea battle, chariot race, the Crucifixion, revenge, and redemption. Ben-Hur, wrongly accused of murder, is taken from his family and fortune, and condemned to death as a galley slave. A twist of fate enables him to become a gladiator and eventually return to the free world as a champion.
