Description

Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz

The novel tells of a love that develops between a young Christian woman, Lycia (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. “Quo vadis, Domine?” is Latin for “Where are you going, Lord?” and appears in the novel in a retelling of a story from 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, “If thou desertest my people, I am going to Rome to be crucified a second time”, which shames Peter into going back to Rome to accept martyrdom.
