«Quo Vadis» is the historical novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz, published by Proa, Barcelona, in hardcover (624 pages, in Catalan).
Under Nero's reign, the faith of the first Christians spreads and strains the pagan world of Rome, a society in full crisis of values. The novel contrasts Roman materialism with the simplicity and goodness of the new religiosity, and places Petronius, arbiter of elegance, as a counterpoint between two irreconcilable ways of life.
With the subtitle «A Narrative of the Time of Nero», the work was originally published in 1896 as «Quo vadis: Powieść z czasów Nerona»; this edition belongs to the A tot vent collection.
For readers of historical fiction and literary classics; the work is available in this edition in Catalan.
Henryk Adam Aleksander Pius Sienkiewicz, also known by the pseudonym Litwos, was a Polish epic writer. He is remembered for his historical novels, such as the Trilogy series and especially for his internationally known best-seller Quo Vadis (1895–1896).
