### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fantastic Novel (!), but the Kindle Version Leaves a Lot to be Desired
            
*by G***G on September 26, 2016*

Quo Vadis is a truly great novel. Profoundly Christian, and Catholic (although the Catholicism is more assumed than explicit and Protestants would enjoy it as much as Catholics). Inspiring and humbling, it encourages us today to be willing to endure persecution for Christ. It is also a cautionary tale about unchecked ego and power in a dissolute and morally bankrupt society that ultimately believes in nothing. Every Christian should read this to ground his/her faith in the roots of the apostolic era. But it's also a story of grace, of the work of the Holy Spirit that sometimes works quietly to change human hearts as well as dramatically on occasion through miracles that change the course of history. The characterizations are insightful, and relevant to personalities and moral choices today.The problem with the Kindle version is that it was badly scanned in OCR that produced many typos. Also, this is an older translation with a lot of "thees" and "thous" and period references that don't translate well. There are better translations out there. Still, even the Kindle version is well worth reading.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The glory and debauchery that was ancient Rome
            
*by A***M on February 19, 2013*

It's no surprise this book won a Nobel Prize for literature. It is a love story between a young Christian woman, a king's daughter held hostage to Rome, and a patrician  Roman tribune when Christianity was in its infancy.  At the outset there is a tentative and reciprocal love that he destroys by having her forcibly removed from her home with full intent of installing her as his mistress in his house.  Her fellow Christians thwart this abduction and the remainder of the story is the tribune's coming to terms with the real meaning of love through his acceptance of Christ.Couched in the soft language of the author's time (late 1800s) it is nonetheless an extremely graphic portrayal of the culture of brutality that underlay Rome's military success.  The descriptions of the amphitheaters where murder and torture of living humans provided a source of amusement for the masses was particularly distressing.  While we might stand in awe of the glory that was Rome, we also know there existed a depraved license for debauchery that ran from emperor through to the meanest inhabitant of the Subura.  The martyrdom of the Christians is infamous throughout all of history and Sienkiewicz recreates the horror in full detail.  The title, Quo Vadis, is taken from a biblical quote, "Quo vadis, Domine?"  Where are you going, Lord?
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quo Vadis - required reading . . .
            
*by T***G on October 2, 2012*

Quo Vadis - the epic story by Polish author Henryk Sienkiewicz should be required reading for anyone interested in  history, the history of Rome, Nero, the history of Christianity, and the history of man's incomparable capacity for cruelty to man. While not an historical text, the author weaves a magnificient tale by a combinaiton of history and artistic license.  A beautiful love story wrapped in the fires of Rome, the birth of Christianity, the perversity of the colosseum "games" and surrounded by a morality play equal to any other. Sienkiewicz's well researched knowledge of the daily life of Roman citizens, high-born or low, is endless.  The details of a wealthy Roman who is part of Nero's inner court and at the same time, Nero's most articulate critic reveals, the vanity and perversity of those who would see Rome burn on the whim of rebuiling a more "pleasing city", and then blame the catastrophe on the nascent Christian community.  Sienkiewicz's command of his story is particularly evident in the word-pictures he paints, whether it is Rome burning or the sun filtering through the boughs of a tree.
