The Latin phrase, "Quo Vadis?" means "Whither goest thou?" It is a
phrase of great meaning to Christians. The author of "Quo Vadis,"
Henryk Sienkiewicz, was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in
1905, and the enduring popularity of "Quo Vadis" contributed
greatly to the award. Set in Rome in the time of Nero, "Quo Vadis"
tells the story of Roman tribune Marcus, who falls in love with a
beautiful Christian girl, Ligia. Sienkiewicz studied Roman history
extensively before writing the book, and it features real
historical figures, including St. Peter, Petronius, and the Emperor
Nero. "Quo Vadis" tells a powerful tale of love and redemption in a
time of ultimate danger -- for Christians and Romans alike.
