Some reviews complain about the translation, there is not a mistake here; Sienkiewicz is writing a book about things that happened about 30 years after the death of Christ, so he tried to make the language sound contemporary to the bible. This was the first time I listened to a recording of his and I felt it was the weakest part of the experience.
Quo Vadis brims with passion and life as it explores one of the turning points in history.
