    About this ebook

    A Quo vadis Nero félelmetes uralkodása idején játszódik. Egy csodálatos szerelem története bontakozik ki a regény lapjain: Vinicus a gazdag patrícius, beleszeret Lygiába, aki királylányból lett római rabnővé. A lány Plautuis házában él. Plautius felesége Pomponia, már keresztény, s keresztény Lygia is. Nero udvarába hívatja a lányt, s Viniciusnak ajándékozza. Lygia szereti Viniciust, mégis megszökik tőle. A férfi úgy érzi, mindenáron vissza kell szereznie Lygiát. De boldog lehet-e egymással ez a két, olyannyira különböző ember a keresztényüldözés korában? Megérthetik-e egymást? Hiszen mindketten mást tartanak fontosnak az életben, a boldogság s a szerelem sem jelenti számukra ugyanazt. Az ő személyükben megtestesülő kettősség jellemzi azt a világot, azt a kort, melyben élnek. Róma Nero eszeveszett dorbézolásaitól hangos, ember ember után esik áldozatul gyilkos tébolyának. Az új eszme hívei katakombákban bújkálnak, cirkuszok porondján halnak mártirhalált, de a kivégzettek helyébe mindegyre újak lépnek, mert megérett az idő a változásra, s a történelem parancsát nem semmisíthetik meg az égő Róma lángjai sem.

    Author

    Henryk Sienkiewicz

    Henryk Adam Aleksander Pius Sienkiewicz also known by the pseudonym Litwos, was a Polish writer, novelist, journalist and Nobel Prize laureate. He is best remembered for his historical novels, especially for his internationally known best-seller Quo Vadis (1896). Born into an impoverished Polish noble family in Russian-ruled Congress Poland, in the late 1860s he began publishing journalistic and literary pieces. In the late 1870s he traveled to the United States, sending back travel essays that won him popularity with Polish readers. In the 1880s he began serializing novels that further increased his popularity. He soon became one of the most popular Polish writers of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and numerous translations gained him international renown, culminating in his receipt of the 1905 Nobel Prize in Literature for his "outstanding merits as an epic writer." Many of his novels remain in print. In Poland he is best known for his "Trilogy" of historical novels, With Fire and Sword, The Deluge, and Sir Michael, set in the 17th-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth; internationally he is best known for Quo Vadis, set in Nero's Rome. The Trilogy and Quo Vadis have been filmed, the latter several times, with Hollywood's 1951 version receiving the most international recognition.

      Okay, I actually didn't finish. This is one of my few DNF's. I got about halfway and I just can't go any further.I had this on my reader for a while. I remember reading The Silver Chalice, The Robe, and of course, Ben Hur back in my youth and thought this might be in the same vein. However, the writing is so florid that I'm just skipping huge sections just trying to find something that advances the plot. We have Vinicius and Lygia who are in love, but she's a Christian and he's a Roman noble. The Apostle Peter and Paul of Tarsus convert Vinicius; meanwhile, Nero is running around Rome and Italy. That's it after 300 pages. I haven't even got to the burning of Rome and the persecution of the Christians which I hope could be more interesting. BUT I JUST CAN"T READ THIS ANYMORE!!!!

      This is an amazing fictional history of Rome during the time of Nero, a love story between a Roman patrician and a Lygerian hostage, and the story of the rise of and persecution of the Christian church. The story brings to wonderful life the beauty and excess of the lives of wealthy Romans, their bone-deep belief that they are superior to all people, and the precariousness of life under the mad despot Nero. In contrast, the work of Peter the Apostle and Paul of Tarsus are building the Christian church and giving people something bigger to believe in and a faith that sustains. In the midst of these vastly different life views the book features the love story of Vinicius, the quintessential Roman citizen, and the pure heart of Lygeria, the daughter of a barbarian king.

      I've never been particularly interested in the history of the Roman Empire and read this at the suggestion of another Shelfarian. The book was difficult in the beginning because of the use of so many Latin words and a wide cast of characters; but it wasn't long before the story drew me in completely and soon I couldn't put it down. I was pulled along as if reading a great suspense novel. This, to me, is a prime example of the benefits of expanding one's reading horizons. While the story has a strong Christian bent, I believe it would be worthwhile reading for anyone.

      One of my very favorites. The details are very well-researched and it doesn't slow down.

      I noted when I started this book and when I finished it but not a word about what I thought of it!

      An interesting look at early Christianity and Rome during Nero's reign.
    • 4/5
      One of the best novels on ancient Rome and the origins of Christianity ever. Poignant story, beautiful characters. A timeless story.
    • 3/5
      I thought a good read. Nothing fancy, but still a solid paced story of early Rome from the Christian point of view. It gets a little preachy at times with plenty of proselytic undertones. If you ignore it, most will like it, I think. I wouldn't go buy a leather-bound copy or anything. It's more a book you might see in the thrift store for 50¢ and say 'what the hell, I like Latin titles–'

      That's how it happened for me anyway...

      A historical novel written po Polish author Henryk Sienkiewicz is set in Rome during the time of Nero. The title Quo Vadis, or Where are you going Lord? is a question that the apostle Peter asks Jesus. The novel also highlights the love between a Lygian princess and a soldier of Rome, Lygia and Marcus. I thought the story captured the reign of the Caesar’s well (when I compared it to I, Claudius. The novel is also strongly Christian message because it highlights the rule of Nero, Nero’s person, Rome’s burning and the persecution of Christians by Nero. It features the later years of the apostle Peter and Paul. Supposedly Sienkiewicz did a lot of study of ancient Rome because he wanted to get the historical facts right. AD 57, Pomponia was indeed charged with practising a "foreign superstition" (Christianity isn’t named exactly) rumor that Vespasian fell asleep during a song sung by Nero is recorded by Suetonius in the Lives of the Twelve CaesarsThe death of Claudia Augusta, sole child of Nero, in AD 63The Great Fire of Rome in AD 64,the fire opens up space in the city for Nero's palatial complex, a massive villa with lush artificial landscapes and a 30-meter-tall sculpture of the emperor, as well as an ambitious urban planning program involving the creation of buildings decorated with ornate porticos and the widening of the streets (a redesign which is not implemented until after Nero's death)The suicide of Petronius is clearly based on the account of TacitusWhat isn’t supported there is no evidence to support that Nero ordered the burning of Rome. Fires were common occurrence.The book states that Jewish community wanted the fires blamed on the Christian, this also is not supported by evidence

      So here’s the canned book blurb: “Set in ancient Rome during the reign of the emperor Nero, Quo Vadis tells the story of the love that develops between Ligia, a young Christian woman and Marcus, a Roman officer who, after meeting her fellow Christians, converts to her religion. Underlying their relationship is the contrast between the worldly opulence of the Roman aristocracy and the poverty, simplicity, and spiritual power of the Christians.” Sounds rather tame, right? What this leaves out is Marcus’ kidnapping attempt on Ligia, the burning of Rome, the narcissism and cowardice of Nero, the work of the apostle Peter to convert Romans to Christianity, and the graphic descriptions of the torture and persecution of Christians and anyone perceived to be anti-Nero.I will say that was an action packed read and having barely any knowledge of this period of time, because this novel was well researched and is seemingly accurate with the documented history of Nero’s reign, it was enlightening and interesting in that regard. Two main problems: Because of the blatant chauvinism displayed by Marcus and his kidnapping attempt, I could not buy into the relationship between Marcus and Ligia and was rooting for the opposite outcome during the entire book. 2nd problem: this novel was horrifically graphic and drawn out when it came to the inventive ways that Nero came up with to torture the Christians. Add to that the festive atmosphere these events took place in and the gleeful reaction of the Romans during these displays and you have a despicable show of humanity. That being said I would call this an awful but good book. I would just recommend a lot of skimming of section 3.

      500 plus pages to write what should have taken 150 pages. Spoiler alert@ Here is the plot - a young Roman pagan is smitten by a Lygian queen who converts to Christianity. It takes him 300 pages to see the light and convert to Christianity also. The next 200 pages covers her rescue (not by the hero) from death and destruction from the hands of Nero and his evil minions. Thats it - that simple. All Christians are good and pure and all pagans (except one) are evil and bad ( except when they convert) at which point they become good and pure. Now you know it and can save yourself some time.

      I read the book with a certain gusto, oftentimes not wanting to put it down for long stretches of time. However, at times the book was rather daunting. I wanted to find out what happened next, but took it up only with reluctance. I feel like the book has given a great insight into the Roman life during Nero as well as the early Christian movement. Granted, as the book progressed, I felt like the focus became less so on Rome and Nero and more on the Christians, with many pages devoted to the experiences of enlightenment and thoughts of the early Christians. By the end, it seemed like one of those books circulated among Christians and given to nonbelievers to convert them. Christianity is definitely a part of the book and that's fine, but I think there could be less emphasis on it. On the other hand, it might be necessary to dive into the heart and mind of the Roman nobleman to really understand what a difference a Christian outlook makes on a hardened Roman character. All in all, however, the book was pretty good and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to learn about Nero's Rome or early Christian movement.

      Quo Vadis may have taken me longer to read than any other book. I don’t blame the quality of the work as it was excellent. Instead, it was the format I selected for this particular reading.I downloaded this edition from Project Gutenberg and read it on an iPad. The Gutenberg file was poorly translated and contained a number of editorial and spelling errors. These slowed me down a bit. What had the greatest impact, however, was reading on the iPad. There are simply too many distractions, with e-mail coming in and a web browser just a click away, to allow for dedicated concentration.All that said, I really enjoyed Quo Vadis. I had been wanting to read some Polish literature for a while and this was my first selection. The translator of this edition, Jeremiah Curtin, did an excellent job. The story flowed well and the language was still rich and descriptive. The only slightly annoying nuance was their use of “in a twinkle” to mean quickly when it was used in conjunction with some violent act.The story was fairly complex but can be broken down into a few main components:The love between Lygia (a Christian) and Vinicius (a Roman tribune)The resilience of the early ChristiansThe conversion of Vinicius to ChristianityThe brutality and insanity of NeroReading this novel, it was sometimes difficult to remember that this was fiction written centuries after the setting of the story. The characters are so well created and the plot finely detailed that it almost seems to be a first-hand account of the action. I suppose this is the mark of a fine author.The brutality of Nero and the Romans against the early Christians is the subject of many works. Quo Vadis provides a rather bloody and detailed account to what may have happened to some of them during the regular spectacles provided for the benefit of the Roman people. The dignity and grace with which they died became their hallmark and instilled more fear of them within the Romans.Overall, this may be one of my favorite books of all time. I will, however, likely stick to actual paper and ink in the future as the electronic media doesn’t work well for me.

      A little over written in places but still at the end really hits the heights of greatness. I thought as I was reading this book about, Jesus meek and mild, and the suffering of the early Christians and they dont really compute. Or maybe it does, but it is an odd faith that can embrace both suffering and meekness. But Jesus did die on a cross, and a lot of the early believers died horrible deaths, we shouldnt forget that. It's an interesting book to read during the Christmas season.

      Near the end of Quo Vadis Petronius (Arbiter) writes a letter in reply to his nephew Vicinius who has fled Rome with his bride, Ligia. In the letter Petronius discusses his philosophy and his fate contrasting it with the Christian belief that Vicinius has accepted. He says:"There are only two philosophers that I care about, Pyrrho and Anacreon. You know what they stand for. The rest, along with the new Greek schools and all the Roman Stoics, you can have for the price of beans. Truth lives somewhere so high that even the gods can't see it from Olympus."(QV, p. 566)It is interesting to note that Pyrrho is noted for a philosophy of skepticism that claims the impossibility of knowledge. For him our own ignorance or doubt should induce us to withdraw into ourselves, avoiding the stress and emotion which belong to the contest of vain imaginings. This theory of the impossibility of knowledge suggests a sort of agnosticism and its ethical implications may be compared with the ideal tranquility of the Stoics and Epicureans (who were more popular among Romans). This certainly contrasts with the Christian spiritual view that emphasizes belief in the supernatural. It is a philosophy that, at least for Petronius, lets him face death unequivocally with a sort of stoicism that provides a potent example in opposition to the Christian view. It also is an example of the breadth of beliefs shown by Sienkiewicz in his portrayal of the culture and character of the Roman world.This contrast of philosophies underlies the novel and made it more interesting to me than the simple love story that it also presents. In Quo Vadis we are presented with an historical novel of depth that shows us the corruption and depravity of Nero's Rome while it presents the worlds of aesthetics and skepticism represented by Petronius and that of the young Christian sect whose believers include Peter and Paul, of biblical fame, and Ligia, the barbarian princess who becomes the focus of young Vicinius' amour. It is perhaps not a coincidence that the nineteenth century had several writers (Bulwer-Lytton, Kingsley, and Wallace) including Sienkiewicz who reacted to the prevalence of anti-christian views among the romantics (Shelley, et. al.). This is seen in the pronounced admiration for the poor Christians and the sensational nature of the culmination of the story involving the Neronic destruction of many of the Christians in terrifically brutal games. In spite of this Sienkiewicz through vivid detail creates a believable historical setting for his love story; and overcoming his biased portrayal of the Christians and the contrast with the irrationality and evil of Nero, he succeeds in telling a moving and thoughtful portrayal of Rome in the first century A.D.

      A masterpiece!!! I would give 10 stars to this book if I could. It's the best book I've ever read, it's my new favourite book, I just couldn't put it down! I will force all of my friends to read it! :) No really, this book should be the first on your "Books to read" list, not only because you'll learn some ancient history (don't worry, it didn't appeal to me either when I heard it's about the Roman Empire and Nero) but also because this Sienkiewicz guy really knows the art of writing. If I didn't convince you yet that it worths your time, here's the last thing: this book won the Nobel prize. And with this being said, I rest my case.............. Enjoy!!!!

      Many of the classics seem timeless, and no matter how long ago they were written they're still revalent today. This historical novel is not one of those! It deals with the Rome of Nero and the early Christian martyrs, with the struggle of the Christians against paganism being the central plot. The life of ancient Rome is shown in all its decadent detail, which makes the story very interesting, although it still drags somewhat. But, it has a satisfactory ending, even though a little dated.

      A young man in Rome during the first century, comes of age and examines the world around him and its meaning. He finds it lacking until he meets up with the Christian faith. He also finds the love of his life and must needs deal with Nero and other persecutions.I enjoyed this book, sadly it has been long since I've read it. I remember reveling in the discussions between the different Romans and the hero of the book on faith.
    • 5/5
      Referred to me by my friend. This book is a sweeping epic during the reign of Nero. It's about love, faith and war. Loved it.
    • 5/5
      Although I am not a Christian, or otherwise religious, I have to say that Quo Vadis is one of the most moving and emotional novels I have read. It is also quite different in several important respects from the 1950 film, great all time screen favourite of mine though that is. In the book, Vinicius is terrible before his conversion, his love for Lygia being more of a sadistic desire to control and dominate her, a desire that leads him, for example, to kill outright in a moment of anger a slave who nursed him as a child. I assume for the film they thought that it would not be a success if Robert Taylor as a square-jawed hero was seen doing/saying such things. By the same token, after his conversion, he is far more evangelical than portrayed on screen. In general, much of the same events happen on screen and in the book, but in the latter they happen far more intensely – the sufferings of the Christians in the amphitheatre and on the crosses being a particularly moving and disturbing case in point, with quite surprisingly graphic detail for a 19th century novel.Other minor differences – Aulus (not a Christian in the book) and Pomponia play a lesser role and fade out of the narrative fairly early on. Poppea is a very minor character in the book, Paul of Tarsus a more major one and who seems to meet his martyrdom despite being a Roman citizen.If one can overlook the fact that many modern scholars do not believe that Nero did actually start the Great Fire of Rome, this is a great historical novel for anyone interested in ancient Rome or early Christianity
