Ben Hur is an excellent film that (almost) everyone has seen. But this is the interpretation also quite faithful cinema an excellent book. It's very well written, easy to read, not very long. Unlike the film, we take the time to understand the characters and the time. We understand better the inner development of the person of Ben Hur, which is the heart of this story. This change is abrupt and somewhat artificial way in the film where the characters do not have time to arise and evolve.
