图书简介：Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero, commonly known as Quo Vadis, is a historical novel written by Henryk Sienkiewicz. Quo vadis is Latin for "Where are you going?" and alludes to a New Testament verse (John 13:36). The verse, in the King James Version, reads as follows, "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."Quo Vadis tells of a love that develops between a young Christian woman, Ligia (or Lygia), and Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician. It takes place in the city of Rome under the rule of emperor Nero around AD 64.Sienkiewicz studied the Roman Empire extensively prior to writing the novel, with the aim of getting historical details correct. As such, several historical figures appear in the book. As a whole, the novel carries a powerful pro-Christian message.Published in installments in three Polish dailies in 1895, it came out in book form in 1896 and has since been translated into more than 50 languages. This novel contributed to Sienkiewicz's Nobel Prize for literature in 1905.亨利克·显克微支（Henryk Sienkiewicz，1846年5月5日－1916年11月15日）：波兰作家。主要作品有历史小说卫国三部曲：《火与剑》、《洪流》及《星火燎原》，主要反映的是17世纪时波兰人民反抗外国入侵的故事。他的其他著作包括《十字军骑士》、《你往何处去》、《在沙漠与荒野中》等。由于“他史诗一般的作品表现出的卓越成就”，获1905年诺贝尔文学奖，是第一位以长篇小说创作的卓越成就获取诺贝尔文学奖的人。20世纪初时，鲁迅、周作人等人就开始将显克微支的作品翻译成中文，如今他的大部分长篇小说和部分中、短篇小说都有中文版本。
