The third and final book of Henryk Sienkiewicz¿s Trilogy takes a closer and more intimate look at one of the series¿ protagonists: Pan Michael Volodyovski.The Polish Commonwealth has been through intense periods of war, and the peace that follows leaves one of its greatest heroes, Pan Michael, finally free to marry his beloved Panna Anusia. But in a twist of fate, she falls ill and dies, leaving Michael despairing of life¿to the point of him joining a monastery. His friends, shocked at the loss of the great knight which has now left the Commonwealth unprotected, hatch a plan to bring him back to his true calling.As with many of the characters in the Trilogy, Michael is fictional but based heavily on historical record: his character¿s exploits and circumstances owe a lot to the real Polish knight Jerzy Wöodyjowski, who was also in Jan Sobieski¿s cavalry.Pan Michael was, like the other books in the Trilogy, initially serialized in Sienkiewicz¿s newspaper S¿owo, before being collected into a novel five years later in 1893. The book, and the Trilogy as a whole, was very well received, and allowed Sienkiewicz to resign his editorial post to focus on his novels.The novel was the first of the Trilogy to be filmed (as 1969¿s Colonel Wolodyjowski), and it was also later converted into a successful television series in Poland. This edition is based on the 1893 translation by Jeremiah Curtin.

Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero was first published in Polish as Quo vadis. Powie¿¿ z czasów Nerona. Among Henryk Sienkiewicz¿s inspirations was the painting Nerös Torches (Pochodnie Nerona) by fellow Pole Henryk Siemiradzki; the painting, which depicts cruel persecution of Christians, serves as the cover art for this ebook edition. Sienkiewicz incorporates extensive historical detail into the plot, and notable historical figures serve as prominent characters, including the apostles Simon Peter and Paul of Tarsus, Gaius Petronius Arbiter, Ofonius Tigellinus, and the infamous Nero himself. Sienkiewicz used the historical basis of the novel as an opportunity to describe in detail the lives of the citizenry under Nerös cruel and erratic rule.Sienkiewicz was awarded the 1905 Nobel Prize in Literature in part for his authorship of Quo Vadis. The book was exceedingly popular both domestically and internationally: it was translated into more than 50 languages, sold 800,000 copies in the U.S. within a period of eighteenth months, and was the best selling book of 1900 in France.The plot of Quo Vadis follows the love story of Marcus Vinicius and Lygia. He is a young, charming, up-and-coming Roman patrician; she is a high-ranking hostage, a former princess of a country conquered by Rome. Vinicius¿s immediate infatuation with Lygia is complicated by her devout Christianity, a faith barely tolerated in Rome of the time. As the painting that inspired the novel foreshadows, Rome burns in a great fire, and Christians receive the blame. The subsequent persecution of the Christians in Rome serves as the main obstacle between the two lovers.Sienkiewicz portrays a pro-Christian narrative throughout the book, with the apostles Peter and Paul serving as spiritual mentors to both Vinicius and Lygia. The novel¿s title translates to ¿Where are you going, Lord?¿, a quote from the apocryphal Christian text the Acts of Peter, which depicts Peter¿s death. The text describes how while fleeing Rome, Peter asks a vision of Jesus the titular question, to which Jesus replies that he is returning to Rome to lead the Christians since Peter, their leader, is deserting them. Peter then realizes he must turn back and remain with his people, despite the cost. Quo Vadis depicts this exchange, along with Paul¿s fate and the deaths of Nero and Petronius, Vinicius¿s wise and worldly uncle and mentor. Sienkiewicz contrasts Petronius¿s and Nerös hedonism with Vinicius¿s and Lygiäs journey to a deeper faith in their God, and with Peter and Paul¿s faithful martyrdom, to great effect. As such, the novel is not just a love story, but also a thoughtful reflection on how one¿s way of living affects how they see death.
