«Quo Vadis?» is the historical novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz, published by Orbis in 1983 in paperback (461 pages, in Spanish).
In Nero's Rome, the patrician Marcus Vinicius falls in love with Lygia, a young Christian of royal origin. The story pits the pagan world of the Empire against the faith of the Christian community, in an era marked by the Great Fire of Rome and persecution. Love, duty and conscience intersect as the new religion spreads among the Romans.
Originally published in 1896; Sienkiewicz received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1905 for this novel. The edition belongs to the Nobel Prize Winners collection (no. 39).
For readers of historical fiction and classics interested in imperial Rome and the origins of Christianity.
