Quo Vadis (1896)

About this item

SUMMARY: "Quo Vadis: a Narrative of the Time of Nero" is the story of a love that develops between a young Christian woman, Lygia, and Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician. 'Quo Vadis' is Latin, meaning 'Where are you going?' and it is a reference to the New Testament verse John 13:36 which states, 'Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.' A captivating tale set in an ancient time, Quo Vadis is a novel with a very pro-Christian theme.
