Henryk Senkevich - Kamo gryadeshi. Gift book bound in leather

"Kamo gryadeshi" is the most famous of Senkevich's novels. The love story of the young patrician Mark Vinicius to the beautiful barbarian Lygia serves only as a background to the colorful pictures of the life of Rome during the ruthless and brilliant reign of Emperor Nero (64-68 AD) and the beginning of the formation of Christianity - a religion that was outlawed and subjected to the most severe persecution. The novel is set in 64-68 AD. The apostles Peter and Paul act in the novel along with the writer Petronius the Arbiter, Nero's favorite Acta, the Empress Poppea Sabina and the politicians Vitellius and Tigellinus.
