About this product

Product Information

Rome during the reign of Nero was a glorious place for the emperor and his court; there were grand feasts, tournaments for poets, and exciting games and circuses filling the days and nights. The pageantry and pretentious displays of excess were sufficient to cloy the senses of participants as well as to offend the sensitive. Petronius, a generous and noble Roman, a man of the world much in favor at the court of Nero, is intrigued by a strange tale related by his nephew Marcus Vinitius of his encounter with a mysterious young woman called Ligia with whom Vinitius falls madly in love. Ligia, a captured King's daughter and a one-time hostage of Rome, is now a foster child of a noble Roman household. She is also a Christian. The setting of the narrative was prepared with utmost care. Henryk Sienkiewicz visited the Roman settings many times and was thoroughly educated in the historical background. As an attempt to create the spirit of antiquity, the novel met with unanimous acclaim, which earned the Nobel Prize in literature for the author in 1905. As a vision of ancient Rome and early Christianity it has not yet been surpassed, almost a century later.

    One of the most moving books I ever read! Twice!

    "Quo vadis, Domine?" Where are you going, Lord? The answer is in this book. This is the wonderful, gripping story of early Christians preaching their new religion against the vicious backdrop of Nero's Rome. Evil and corruption are rampant. The Christians are humble and compassionate. Nero's unbridled ego is ready to burn Rome and blame the Christians. Will the meek inherit Rome? Sienkiewicz has written a book for the ages. The Kunizac translation is amazing! It contains much material omitted from other versions. Few books compare with this historic classic. I urge everyone to read this book.

    Quo Vadis

    Quo Vadis gives an amazing insight into the Roman "Republic" during Nero's reign. Depicting in detail Nero's many banquets, you come to understand the vileness that was so pervasive in Rome at the time. Christianity changed the world, but it changed Rome first. I couldn't put the book down!
