Been a devastating week from loosening Бабса, my Ukrainian immigrant grandmother. Saw this and snagged it from the house. 1922 book that apears to be based off the older black-and-white movie. My whole family loves the story of Ben-Hur. It‘s rare to come across fabric covered books nowadays. I‘ll have to give this a read later.

Yesterday, I found this amazing book at a local second-hand store. It has wonderful sketches (like the one shown on the right) throughout. Why did I think up until now that Ben-Hur was only a movie???

Kaag I heard it was a book reading about the American civil war, Lew Wallace was a Union general. 2y
SRWCF @Kaag Oh, I didn't know that! How cool! 2y

Although the movie was slightly different, the message of redemption is still the same. It got a bit long in parts, but overall I still enjoyed it.

just found out that my edition of Ben-Hur is a first edition from 1880! there's an inscription in the front (in fountain pen) from 120 years ago. I imagine it had a dust jacket back in the day? 😁

Day 11: Little Free Library. There are no LFLs anywhere near here (searched about a hundred miles) so I'm posting a couple of books I got for free at a library years ago. 🤷🏽‍♀️#riotgrams

My first book for October is my father's old copy of 'Ben Hur', which is a historical and allegorical tale centered around the politics of Roman-Judea around the life and death of Jesus Christ. The book itself has a broken spine, browned pages, and typos all over the place that make it look like it was typed on a very old typewriter. Nevertheless, it /is/ a classic...so let's get to it!

This is the second time j have started and bailed on this book. Maybe I should be less ambitious and just pick up the abridged version someday...
