Quo Vadis

In the shadow of Nero’s opulent yet crumbling Rome, a young nobleman, Marcus Vinicius, is captivated by Lygia, a woman of unshakable faith. Her devotion to a new, forbidden sect—Christians who worship a risen savior—sets her apart in a city steeped in excess. As Vinicius pursues her, he is drawn into a world of courage and sacrifice, where the apostles Peter and Paul preach a message that threatens the empire’s foundations. With Nero’s madness casting a deadly pall over the city, Vinicius and Lygia face a choice that will define their lives and echo through history: to bow to the emperor’s will or to stand for a truth that transcends earthly rule.

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1905 for his “outstanding merits as an epic writer,” Henryk Sienkiewicz, a Polish Catholic author, crafts a vivid portrayal of ancient Rome in Quo Vadis. Featured on John Senior’s prestigious 1000 Good Books List, this celebrated novel immerses readers in a world where a single spark of faith could set an empire ablaze.
