Marcus Vinicius is a passionate Roman tribune; Lygia Callina is a Christian maiden of royal descent and a hostage of Rome. At first Marcus has no notion of love, but he desires Lygia with animalistic intensity. Through political machinations, he contrives to have her taken by force into the decadent splendor of Ceasar's court, setting in motion a series of events that culminate in his own spiritual redemption. Set at the dawn of Christianity, and written with amazing historical accuracy, Quo Vadis won for its author the Nobel Prize. Translated into more than 40 languages, this captivating tale is one of the greatest novels in the history of religious literature. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

Quo Vadis Nowowiejski / Chodowicz / Borowicz - CD 761203508921

Originally published in Polish in 1896 by Nobel Prize-winning author Henryk Sienkiewicz, “Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero" is the story of a love that develops in Rome between a young Christian woman, Lygia, and Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician, during the reign of Nero in 64 AD. The title “Quo Vadis” is translated from Latin as “Where are you going?” The quote is a reference to the New Testament verse John 13:36, which states “Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.” Sienkiewicz exhaustively researched the Roman Empire and the result is an incredibly detailed and believable story. The novel is one of contrasts: the violence of ancient Rome and its gladiators contrasted with the sweet and touching love story between Marcus and Lygia, and the contrast between the piety, poverty, and spirituality of the early Christians with the decadence and waste of Nero and his court. “Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero” is a captivating and timeless tale of love and devotion amid violence and ruin. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Premio Nobel de Literatura 1905. Quo Vadis? Uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura moderna, comienza en el año 63 d.C., en tiempos del César Nerón, de la dinastía de los Julio-Claudios. El joven Vinicio visita a su tío Petronio, uno de los favoritos de Nerón, para que le ayude a conseguir a Ligia, una rehén del ejército romano que vive con una familia que la considera su hija adoptiva. Sin embargo, Vinicio no sabe que la bella Ligia de la que se ha enamorado es cristiana, ni que sólo podrá casarse con ella si se convierte al cristianismo. Henryk Sienkiewicz avista mucho más allá de la compleja historia de amor entre Marco y Ligia. Con una habilidad magistral, el Nobel polaco retrata el contraste entre la aristocracia romana, con sus excesos y frivolidades, y los primeros cristianos, perseguidos y martirizados por un Nerón desenfrenado que llegó a acusarles del incendio de Roma. Muchos críticos y lectores han querido ver en Quo Vadis? una metáfora política de la Polonia en que vivió su autor, sojuzgada por el imperialismo de Rusia y su Zar (doble histórico del César Nerón), equiparando así a los polacos de entonces, que se habían levantado contra la ocupación rusa, con los primeros cristianos perseguidos por Roma. Publicada en 1896, Quo vadis? se convirtió en poco tiempo en un clásico de la literatura y se han realizado varias adaptaciones cinematográficas de esta novela, entre las que sobresale la que en 1951 protagonizaron Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr y Peter Ustinov.

In order to win the love of Ligia, a Christian, Vinicius, a soldier, must come to understand the true meaning of her religion, even as Rome sinks under the excesses of Nero and Christians are thrown to the lions.
