Quo vadis fortæller historien om kærligheden mellem en ung, kristen kvinde, Lygia - et gidsel af kongelig afstamning fra et germansk folk ved romerrigets nordgrænse, der er vokset op som plejebarn hos en romersk patricierfamilie - og den unge tribun Vinicius, i et barbarisk og stadig mere absurd Rom omkring år 64 under den gale kejser Nero.Da kejserinden, Poppæa, begærer Vinicius, bliver hun jaloux og indleder en forfølgelse af Lygia under foregivende af, at Lygia er en heks, der er skyld i Neros og Poppæas eneste barns død. Da Nero efter Roms brand har brug for en syndebuk, indledes efter Poppæas og andres tilskyndelse forfølgelser af de kristne i byen i almindelighed, og medens kristne fanges og lider døden på mange fantasifulde måder, udtænkt af Neros hofmænd, digter, musicerer og danser den gale kejser sig mod sin undergang. Lygias og Vinicius' kærlighed er lyset i mørket, der giver håb for fremtiden.Ud over Nero og Poppæa er der adskillige historiske personer i bogen - Sienkiewicz studerede Roms historie grundigt i forbindelse med den - ikke mindst Vinicius onkel, og en af Neros yndlinge, forfatteren Petronius (Satyricon), som hjælper den unge mand og sætter handlingen i relief med kommentarer og breve.Quo Vadis? indbragte sin forfatter Nobelprisen i 1905, og er filmatiseret (mindst) syv gange.

Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero, commonly known as Quo Vadis, is a historical novel written by Henryk Sienkiewicz in Polish. "Quo vadis Domine" is Latin for "Where are you going, Lord?" and alludes to the apocryphal Acts of Peter, in which Peter flees Rome but on his way meets Jesus and asks him why he is going to Rome. Jesus says "I am going back to be crucified again," which makes Peter go back to Rome and accept martyrdom. The novel 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 an outspoken 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.

Il romanzo racconta la storia di un soldato patrizio romano, Vinicio, e di una principessa cristiana del popolo dei Lici (o Lugi), Callina (denominata Licia dai romani), che vivono a Roma durante l'impero di Nerone. Vinicio s'innamora di Licia e cerca dapprima di prenderla con la forza, ma ella lo respinge. In seguito, però, Vinicio, seguendo la ragazza, entra in contatto con la comunità cristiana guidata da san Pietro, che si riunisce nelle catacombe, e finisce per convertirsi a sua volta al Cristianesimo. Nel frattempo scoppia il Grande incendio di Roma, del quale sono incolpati i cristiani: Nerone ne ordina allora la persecuzione, ed essi sono catturati e massacrati nei più vari modi nel circo, per il divertimento degli spettatori. Pietro tenta di fuggire da Roma, ma gli appare Gesù che lo convince a tornare indietro, e viene crocefisso a testa in giù. Licia viene spinta nell'arena per essere uccisa da un toro inferocito, ma viene salvata dal fortissimo schiavo Ursus, che ingaggia una furibonda lotta con l'animale e infine lo abbatte spezzandogli la spina dorsale a mani nude. Il pubblico, entusiasmato dallo spettacolo, chiede e ottiene la grazia per Ursus e per Licia, che con Vinicio lascia Roma e si mette in salvo.
