Quo Vadis

[Apocalypse]

Have you read that masterpiece of Henrik Senkevich (I'm not quite sure about spelling)? Did you like it?

I think it's awesome! It made me think not only about Latin (that's why I remembered about this forum ) but also about christianity and it's principles. I've read "Crusaders" of Senkevich, but "Quo Vadis" is the crown of his creative talent...

P.S. By the way, does any of you have an ebook "Quo Vadis" in English. I read it in Georgian but I'd like to have a look at English version

 

[QMF]

Is there a Latin version? If so we could probably pick it apart into English (it would take a long time, but we could do it), assuming an ebook cannot be found...

Edit: found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quo_Vadis_(novel)
Ack, it doesn't wanna hyperlink right; just copy and paste.
And a link directly off of that article: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/2853

That's what I've been looking for

As for the Latin version... I assume there is none, taking into account Sienkiewicz (I looked it up )) was Polish, this book (and majority of his books) was originally written in Polish. The book is full of witty Latin phrases but they're used just to add some flavour of those good (?!) old (that's definite) times of Nero.

There are a couple of US movie versions of Quo Vadis: a silent one 1925 (http://imdb.com/title/tt0015253/) 1951 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043949/). Even Elizabeth Taylor has a small role in the second one. With the book being popular for so long, logically, it could exist...

I know there was even a TV series...
and last summer I watched modern version (the film I mean)
