Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero (Gateway Movie Classics)

Quo Vadis is the tale of a Roman general in Nero's army in the first century A.D. who risks everything when he falls in love with a Christian woman. This classic novel reveals a divided society. On one side is Rome's aristocracy, the picture of godless extravagance and excess. On the other are the city's persecuted Christians, vilified and thrown to lions as scapegoats for the burning of Rome.
