Henryk Sienkiewicz

    5 mai 1846 – 15 novembre 1916

    Henryk Sienkiewicz fut un journaliste et romancier polonais célébré pour ses épopées narratives historiques. Il s'efforça méticuleusement de recréer l'authenticité de la langue historique dans ses œuvres, situant souvent ses récits à l'époque de la République des Deux Nations. Ses romans se caractérisent par des représentations vivaces du passé et des personnages captivants, ce qui lui valut une reconnaissance internationale et le Prix Nobel de Littérature pour ses mérites exceptionnels en tant qu'écrivain épique.

    Quo vadis?
    • Qui ne connaît les héros de cette somptueuse reconstitution des temps néroniens ? Qui n'a revé ou frémi en imaginant leurs exploits ou leurs forfaits, bien avant que le cinéma n'eut fixé leurs traits ? Néron et l'incendie de Rome, la vie des premiers chrétiens dans les catacombes, les jeux sanglants du cirque, le combat singulier du géant Ursus contre un buffle sauvage sont depuis longtemps légendaires. La présente édition ne se contente pas de restituer la traduction intégrale du plus célebre roman historique de notre temps. Elle guide le lecteur d'aujourd'hui dans les arcanes de la Rome impériale et constitue sans doute une introduction vivante et sure a la littérature et a la civilisation latines.
