Qvo vadis: Kertomus Neron ajoilta by Henryk Sienkiewicz
"Qvo vadis: Kertomus Neron ajoilta" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a historical novel written in 1895-1896. Set in Rome during Emperor Nero's reign from AD 64 to 68, it follows the forbidden love between Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician, and Lygia, a Christian woman held as a barbarian hostage. As their romance unfolds against a backdrop of imperial decadence, Rome burns and Christians become scapegoats for the disaster. The novel vividly depicts the
clash between early Christianity and Roman paganism, culminating in brutal arena spectacles and the martyrdom of early church figures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
