Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero is a historical novel written by Henryk Sienkiewicz in Polish. The novel Quo Vadis tells of a love that develops between a young Christian woman, Lygia (Ligia in Polish) and Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician. It takes place in the city of Rome under the rule of emperor Nero, c. AD 64. Sienkiewicz studied the Roman Empire extensively before writing the novel, with the aim of getting historical details correct. Consequently, several historical figures appear in the book. As a whole, the novel carries a pro-Christian message. It was first published in installments in the Gazeta Polska between 26 March 1895 and 29 February 1896, as well as in two other journals, Czas and Dziennik Pozna?ski, starting two and three days later. It was published in book form in 1896 and has been translated into more than 50 languages. The novel contributed to Sienkiewicz's Nobel Prize for literature in 1905. Several movies have been based on Quo Vadis, including two Italian silent films in 1913 and in 1924, a Hollywood production in 1951, a 1985 miniseries directed by Franco Rossi, and a 2001 adaptation by Jerzy Kawalerowicz.

Boards. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Later printing. Later printing. [8], 422 pages. 8vo. Paper boards. Illustrated dj. This copy has two dust jackets, and more importantly two "belly bands" which are advertisements for the MGM film production, starting Robert Taylor and Deborah Kerr. There is minor wear to the extremities of the dust jackets, and a small chip to the outer belly band lower edge. We love production extras, when they put two dust jackets and two belly bands on the same book! Minor rubbing to the band, mostly to the rear panel. The band has three scenes from the movie on it (one front, one rear, one small it on the spine portion). Boards. On the belly band, it notes that Quo Vadis has already sold 1,500,000 copies, and is now a Six and a half million dollar MGM Motion picture. Originally printed by Little, Brown and Co.

Quo Vadis (A Narrative of the Time of Nero) is a historical novel written by Henryk Sienkiewicz in Polish. "Quo vadis Domine" is Latin for "Where are you going, Lord?" and alludes to the apocryphal Acts of Peter, in which Peter flees Rome but on his way meets Jesus and asks him why he is going to Rome. Jesus says, "I am going back to be crucified again", which makes Peter go back to Rome and accept martyrdom. The novel tells of a love that develops between a young Christian woman, Ligia (or Lygia), and Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician. It takes place in the city of Rome under the rule of emperor Nero, circa AD 64. Limited Editions Club Bibliography, 302.
