Quo Vadis? (1895) is a novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz.

Abstract

“A Narrative of the Time of Nero.” Mature product of eastern-European neo-Christianism offers a broad picture of Roman life, bringing into salient contrast the licentiousness of Paganism and the spiritual beauty of Christianity. Especially remarkable are the chapters describing the great fire and the scenes in the amphitheatre. Its success contributed significantly to Sienkiewicz’s Nobel Prize for Literature in 1905.
