| Description: |
Sienkiewicz's 1896 masterpiece served as the basis for MGM's monumental epic motion picture in 1951. Sienkiewicz writes of Marcus Vinicius, a Roman officer in Nero's army, who risks his career, his family, even his life, when he falls in love with a Christian woman named Callina Lygia. |
| Synopsis: |
Quo Vadis is the tale of a Roman general in Nero's army in the first century A.D. who risks everything when he falls in love with a Christian woman. This classic novel reveals a divided society. On one side is Rome's aristocracy, the picture of godless extravagance and excess. On the other are the city's persecuted Christians, vilified and thrown to lions as scapegoats for the burning of Rome. |
