Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Ben-Hur<br/><br/>When the dromedary lifted itself out of the last break of the wady, the traveller had passed the boundary of El Belka, the ancient Am mon. It was morning-time. Before him was the sun, half curtained in ?eecy mist; be fore him also spread the desert; not the realm of drifting sands, which was farther on, but the region where the herbage began to dwarf; where the surface is strewn with bowlders of granite, and gray and brown stones, inter spersed with languishing acacias and tufts of camel-grass. The oak, bramble, and arbutus lay behind, as if they had come to a line, looked over into the well less waste, and crouched with fear.
