    About this ebook

    The man who would go on to write Ben-Hur, the best-selling novel of the 19th century, began his literary career with The Fair God, an adventurous and romantic chronicle of the invasion of the Aztec empire by the Spaniards. Inspired in part by his service in the Mexican War and later by his government service in Mexico, Wallace developed and refined the novel over the course of a quarter century.

    Lew Wallace

    Lew Wallace was an American lawyer, soldier, politician and author. During active duty as a second lieutenant in the Mexican-American War, Wallace met Abraham Lincoln, who would later inspire him to join the Republican Party and fight for the Union in the American Civil War. Following the end of the war, Wallace retired from the army and began writing, completing his most famous work, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ while serving as the governor of New Mexico Territory. Ben-Hur would go on to become the best-selling American novel of the nineteenth century, and is noted as one of the most influential Christian books ever written. Although Ben-Hur is his most famous work, Wallace published continuously throughout his lifetime. Other notable titles include, The Boyhood of Christ, The Prince of India, several biographies and his own autobiography. Wallace died in 1909 at the age of 77, after a lifetime of service in the American army and government.
