Ben Hur with delivery to Ireland

"Ben Hur" is, alongside "Quo vadis", undoubtedly the greatest of all religious novels. It has been adapted for the screen many times.

The hero of the novel is a young Jewish aristocrat, Judah Ben Hur, who, betrayed by a Roman friend, is unjustly condemned to slave labour on the galleys.

So begins the extraordinary story of a man who, through dramatic events, finally returns to Jerusalem, where he meets Jesus on his way to Golgotha…

Gripping action full of dramatic scenes, betrayal lurking around every corner, love and hatred, and finally the question that consumes everyone: the question about the One to whom a star pulsing with extraordinary radiance once led the Three Wise Men... All this makes this epic tale utterly absorbing. All the more so because the love story is interwoven with the political one, and the lust for power and unrestrained ambition, slumbering in more than one soul, struggle against the apparent weakness of the truths of the Gospel. What will prevail in the end? Mars, brutal and ruthless, as the Roman Messala would have it, or a heart transformed by love, as believed by those who have truly come to believe...
