When he is stricken with love for one very unusual woman, he is forced to see the errors of Roman society. Lygia, with her mysterious faith, becomes Vinicius’ hope and final transformation while the Caesar carries on in passive destruction of one of the most powerful empires of all time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is filled with a cast of many dynamic characters both good and evil, such as Petronius, Vinicius’ uncle; Chilo Chilonides, a poor philosopher and informant; Aulus \u0026amp; Pomponia, Lygia’s adoptive parents; Poppaea, the jealous wife of the Emperor; and rest of Nero’s corrupt courtiers, to name but a few.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuo Vadis is the story of one man’s conversion to the Faith, despite a toxic atmosphere that forbids this at every turn. We see the foul desires of a deeply pagan society weighed against the true and eternal doctrine of peace that is Christianity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHenryk Sienkiewicz writes with a clear and concise style that also revels in the delight and sorrow of the heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the original translation from the Polish by Jeremiah Curtin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45917374808255,"sku":"13d6a86e-f046-466d-9e96-35340e6316a8","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/fd42458e224de7cef66a902e600a7fc2.jpg?v=1785101240","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/quo-vadis-a-narrative-of-the-time-of-nero","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
