Without Dogma

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916) was a Polish writer and patriot. He is best known abroad for his historical epic Quo Vadis. Without Dogma is the story of a man's inner conflict. He is a pessimistic man who views life instead of entering into it. On one hand he is an emotional and active man while on the other he is self contemplating and critical. "If this were all the book offers us one might well wonder why it was written. But its real interest centres in the moment when the cultivated pessimist "without dogma" discovers that the strongest and most genuine emotion of his life is its love for another man's wife. It is an old theme; certainly two thirds of our modern French novels deal with it; we know exactly how the conventional, respectable British novel would handle it. But here is a treatment, bold, original, and unconventional. The character of the woman stands out in splendid contrast to the man's. Its simplicity, strength, truth, and faith are the antidote for his doubt and weakness. Her very weakness becomes her strength. Her dogmatism saves him.

Quo Vadis

By: Henryk Sienkiewicz

An epic saga of love, courage and devotion in Nero's time, Quo Vadis portrays the degenerate days leading to the fall of the Roman empire and the glory and the agony of early Christianity. Set at a turning point in history (A.D. 54-68), as Christianity replaces the era of corruption and gluttony that marked Nero's Rome, Quo Vadis brims with life."--Publisher description.

Hania

By: Henryk Sienkiewicz,Jeremiah Curtin,Odilon Redon

THIS volume by the author of “Quo Vadis” comprises almost 500 pages, about one-third being occupied by the story which gives the book its title, “Hania.” It is a romance of strength and tenderness and powerful characterization, its scene being laid in Poland. In addition to “Hania,” the volume includes another of the author's stories, “On the Bright Shore,” a romance of Monte Carlo; a philosophical religious story of the crucifixion, entitled “Let Us Follow Him,” which suggested to Sienkiewicz the idea of writing “Quo Vadis;” a sketch entitled “Tartar Captivity;" the germ of “With Fire and Sword,” and the other volumes of the great trilogy; a humorous novella, entitled “That Third Woman,” and more....
