Book Synopsis Bigger than Ben-Hur by : Barbara Ryan
Download or read book Bigger than Ben-Hur written by Barbara Ryan and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-21 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1880, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ became a best-seller. The popular novel spawned an 1899 stage adaptation, reaching audiences of over 10 million, and two highly successful film adaptations. For over a century, it has become a ubiquitous pop cultural presence, representing a deeply powerful story and monumental experience for some and a defining work of bad taste and false piety for others. The first and only collection of essays on this pivotal cultural icon, Bigger Than “Ben-Hur” addresses Lew Wallace’s beloved classic to explore its polarizing effect and to expand the contexts within which it can be studied. In the essays gathered here, scholars approach Ben-Hur from multiple directions—religious and secular, literary, theatrical, and cinematic—to understand not just one story in varied formats but also what they term the “Ben-Hur tradition.” Drawing from a wide range of disciplines, contributions include the rise of the Protestant novel in the United States; relationships between and among religion, spectacle, and consumerism; the “New Woman” in early Hollywood; and a “wish list” for future adaptations, among others. Together, these essays explore how this remarkably fluid story of faith, love, and revenge has remained relevant to audiences across the globe for over 130 years.

Falsely accused of attempting to assassinate a Roman governor, Ben-Hur is enslaved and sentenced to work on a Roman galley, while his mother and sister are imprisoned and their possessions and land confiscated. Luckily, he survives when the ship is attacked by pirates, and comes home, determined to find his family and intent on revenge on the Romans.

After he realizes that Jesus stands for forgiveness rather than revenge, Ben-Hur becomes one of his followers and devotes his life to the church after the crucifixion.

Download or read book Ben Hur: Eine Geschichte aus der Zeit Christi written by Lewis Wallace and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieses eBook: "Ben Hur: Eine Geschichte aus der Zeit Christi" ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen. Der Roman schildert das Leben des fiktiven jüdischen Prinzen Judah Ben Hur, der zu Beginn des 1. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. wegen eines angeblichen Attentats auf den römischen Statthalter von Judäa zur Galeerenstrafe verurteilt wird, später aber in seine Heimat zurückkehrt und eine Aufstandsbewegung gegen die Römer plant. In einem Wagenrennen besiegt er seinen früheren Freund und späteren Widersacher, den Römer Messala. Ben Hur bricht seine Aufstandspläne ab, als er von der Glaubensbotschaft des gekreuzigten Jesus überzeugt wird. Lewis Wallace (1827-1905) war ein US-amerikanischer Rechtsanwalt, General, Politiker und Schriftsteller, vor allem bekannt durch seinen Roman Ben Hur. Eines Tages hatte Wallace ein Gespräch mit einem Stabsoffizier, der sich über Gott, Glauben und Christen lustig machte und darüber spottete. Wallace, der damals noch nicht gläubig war, kam ins Nachdenken und entschloss sich, alles, was mit der Bibel, Jesus Christus und dem Glauben zu tun hatte, ausgiebig zu erforschen. Später schrieb Wallace, dass seine Begegnung mit dem spöttelnden Colonel zwei Folgen hatte: Zum einen das Buch "Ben Hur", das 1880 veröffentlicht wurde, zum anderen seine Hinwendung zu Gott und Jesus Christus. Das Buch wurde ein Bestseller und zum Prototyp des historischen Romans. Nur die Bibel wurde im 19. Jahrhundert öfter gedruckt als "Ben Hur", der insbesondere durch seine Verfilmungen noch heute bekannt ist.
