Quo vadis ? (qui signifie en latin "Où vas-tu ?") dépeint les persécutions que les chrétiens ont subies sous Néron au Ier siècle en racontant l'histoire des amours d'un patricien, Marcus Vinicius, et d'une jeune femme chrétienne, Callina, surnommée Lygie. Le titre évoque la question qu'aurait posée saint Pierre fuyant Rome et rencontrant Jésus-Christ portant sa croix: Quo vadis, Domine ? ( Où vas-tu, Seigneur ? ). Sienkiewicz transpose en fait l'oppression russe sur la Pologne alors divisée, le tsar représenté par Néron voulant convertir les catholiques uniates à l'orthodoxie. Sienkiewicz, lors de ses séjours en Italie, se réunissait en effet avec des résistants polonais à Rome dans une chapelle sur la via Appia, lieu où aurait été prononcé le Quo vadis... ? . Quo vadis ? vaudra à Sienkiewicz de recevoir en 1905 le prix Nobel de littérature

The great struggle begun by the Cossacks, and, after the victory at Korsun, continued by them and the Russian population of the Commonwealth, is described in "With Fire and Sword," from the ambush on the Omelnik[1] to the battle of Berestechko. In "The Deluge" the Swedish invasion is the argument, and a mere reference is made to the war in which Moscow and the Ukraine are on one side and the Commonwealth on the other. In "Pan Michael," the present volume and closing work of the trilogy, the invader is the Turk, whose forces, though victorious at Kamenyets, are defeated at Hotin.

It was the first hour after midnight when Pan Stanislav Polanyetski was approaching the residence in Kremen. During years of childhood he had been twice in that village, when his mother, a distant relative of the present owner of Kremen, was taking him home for vacation. Pan Stanislav tried to remember the place, but to do so was difficult. At night, by the light of the moon, everything took on an uncertain form. Over the bushes, fields, and meadows, a white mist was lying low, changing the whole region about into a shoreless lake, as it were, -an illusion increased by choruses of frogs in the mist

Cetrnaestogodisnjeg Poljaka Stasia Tarkovskog i osmogodisnju Engleskinju Nellu Rawlison, ciji roditelji rade u Kompaniji Sueskog kanala, ugrabili su Sudanski pobunjenici i poveli kao taoce prema gornjem Nilu. Roman opisuje mukotrpni put djece kroz africku 'pustinju i prasumu', sukobe s otmicarima, te savladavanje mnogobrojnih prepreka i opasnosti koje vrebaju na djecu bilo da dolaze od ljudi ili pak od zadivljujuce ali i opasne africke prirode! "Citatelj cesto ostaje bez daha pred zacudnim povezivanjem geografskih, etnoloskih, moralnih i povijesnih cinjenica, njihova znalackog koristenja u knjizevnom tekstu, koji cesto dosize uvjerljivost ne samo knjizevne istinitosti, nego i jedne dramaticne dokumentiranosti!" Dr. Branimir Bosnjak Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916.) kao nijedan poljski pisac prevodjen je gotovo na sve svjetske jezike. Godine 1905. dobiva Nobelovu nagradu, potvrdjujuci svoje mjesto medju najvecim svjetskim knjizevnicima.

At a time when the state of Poland was constantly undergoing political turmoil, Henryk Sienkiewicz wasn't afraid to ruffle feathers. Having already achieved success in his career around the end of the 19th century, the Polish journalist negatively portrayed the Teutonic Order at a time in which his audience lived under German rule. At the same time, he meticulously included historical language in his works, a sort of celebration of authenticity and the past. He would earn a Nobel Prize in 1905 for "outstanding merits as an epic writer." Sienkiewicz mastered historical novels that vividly put readers in places as distinct as 17th century Poland and Ancient Rome. He is still well regarded today for novels like "With Fire and Sword", "The Deluge", "Quo Vadis", and "Fire in the Steppe".
