A very bright and clean copy, essentially as fine but for some minor evidence of age, former owner s neat presentation inscription at the top of the free-fly. FIRST EDITION. A classic and timeless work. "Lew Wallace said that he wrote Ben-Hur as a way to sort out his own beliefs about God and Christ. In doing so he inspired many readers by combining romanticism and spiritual piety common in sentimental novels of the 19th century with the action and adventure found in the more popular stories of the day. It prompted many clergy to reverse their church's long-held opposition to novels and actually encourage their congregations to read Ben-Hur, as a result helping it to become one of the best selling novels of its time."

Published by Ak Kitabevi, Istanbul, 1960
Book First Edition
Dust jacket. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very attractive first Turkish edition of this 19th century American religious epic with its very scarce original pictorial dust wrapper. Two volumes in one. Cover illustration was made by Turkish contemporary artist Nihat Öcal, a famous cover illustrator of both Turkish and translated popular literature of the time. Ben-Hur was originally published in 1880?s America and translated into Turkish by a commission, after 80 years, in 1960. This is because one of the most famous movies of the US cinema industry, William Wyler's "Ben-Hur" adaptation that won the Academy Awards in eleven branches was shot in 1959. Soon its reputation spread across the world. From the very beginning of modern Turkish literature, "historical novel", a sub-genre of popular novel was in great demand. Several writers already proved themselves in this genre like Abdullah Ziya Kozanoglu, Feridun Fazil Tülbentçi, Resat Ekrem Koçu, Oguz Özdes, Nizamettin Tepedelenlioglu and Nihal Atsiz. In 1960?s Turkey, so many popular novels were written under the influence of the American popular literary industry. In this regard, Ben-Hur, as a great combination of popular fiction and religious/historical epic, was very welcomed in Turkey. ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND THE IMPORTANCE OF BEN-HUR IN THE LITERATURE: Lewis Wallace, (1827-1905), was an American lawyer, general during the American Civil War, governor of the New Mexico Territory, politician, diplomat, and author from Indiana. Among his novels and biographies, Wallace is best known for his historical adventure story, ?Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ? (1880), a best-selling novel referred to as "the most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century". Original bdg. with very rare dust wrapper. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 360 p. No copy in OCLC. Very scarce.
