Informacje o audiobooku
Ben Hur could be said to be the first blockbuster. When it was published in 1880, it sold over two million copies and was translated into numerous languages. It combines all the best elements of popular classic, epic and action story against a background of authoritative historical detail. The pace and immediacy of Ben Hur was the basis of its appeal to film-makersÊÐ Charlton HestonÕs portrayal of the title role is one of the classics of the cinema. WallaceÕs original novel has been largely forgotten now, but as this vivid reading shows, the storyÊÐ together with the sweeping rhythm of the writerÕs proseÊÐ make it ideally suited to the audiobook.
