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.

Without Dogma

By: Henryk Sienkiewicz

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

A Narrative of the Time of Nero

By: Henryk Sienkiewicz

‘Quo Vadis’ is a historical epic, set against the backdrop of a Rome at the height of its power. Rome finds itself at a turning point under the despotic emperor Nero, the strange Christians, followers of Peter, are growing in number. Their aversion to the hedonistic life of Romans has created a powder keg of hysteria and misunderstanding, and the crazed Nero is all too happy to light the match. Our protagonist Vinicius, a Centurion in the army has fallen madly in love with the elusive Ligia, a Christian. As the harrowing plans Nero has for Rome’s Christians become ever clearer, Vinicius will have to act fast if he hopes to save his love. From the sweeping Alps, to the blood drenched sand of the Coliseum, Sienkiewicz brings the glory of Rome to life in an entertaining, gripping novel perfect for anyone who loved HBO’s ‘Rome’. Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916) was a Polish fiction writer who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1905, for his outstanding merits as a writer of epic fiction. He became one of the most famous authors in Poland at the end of the 19th century, before translations of his work catapulted him to international renown. Many of his works remain in print today with his most famous novels being ‘With Fire and Sword, ‘Quo Vadis’ and ‘Sir Michael’.

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....
