Description

"Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a historical novel written in 1895-1896. Set in ancient Rome during Nero's reign, it follows the forbidden romance between Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician, and Lygia, a Christian woman and hostage.

The novel weaves together personal passion, religious faith, and historical events in a gripping tale of survival. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
