A King In Babylon is a historical fiction novel written by Burton Egbert Stevenson and published in 1917. The story is set in ancient Babylon and revolves around the life of King Hammurabi, who ruled Babylon from 1792 BC to 1750 BC. The novel portrays Hammurabi as a wise and just ruler who is determined to bring peace and prosperity to his kingdom. Hammurabi’s reign is marked by his famous law code, which is considered one of the earliest known legal codes in history. The novel follows Hammurabi’s life from his early years as a prince to his ascension to the throne and his struggles to maintain his power against rival kingdoms. Along the way, Hammurabi faces numerous challenges, including assassination attempts, political intrigue, and war. A King In Babylon offers readers an exciting and insightful look into the life of one of history’s most famous rulers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
