«Quo vadis?» is the historical novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz, published by Hachette in its Bibliothèque Verte collection (paperback, 250 pages, in French).
In Nero's Rome, the refined Petronius and his nephew Marcus Vinicius live among banquets, games and courtly intrigues. Vinicius falls in love with Lygia, a young Christian of noble origin, and that love brings him closer to a community persecuted by imperial power. The plot includes the burning of Rome and the persecution of Christians.
The novel was originally published in Polish in 1896 under the title «Quo vadis: Powieść z czasów Nerona». Henryk Sienkiewicz received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1905.
