Product Description
Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:WHOSE FAULT? A DRAMATIC PICTURE IN ONE ACT. CHARACTERS:Yadviga Kaklovetski. Leo, A Painter. A Servant. In the dwelling of Yadviga Karlovktski.Scene I.Servant (conducts Leo in). The lady will come immediately.Leo (alone). I cannot repress my emotion, or the throbbing of my heart. Three times did I grasp the bell, and three times I wished to withdraw. Alarm seizes my whole being. Why did she summon me? (Takes out a letter.) " Would you have the kindness to come to me on an affair which will not suffer delay. Notwithstanding all that has passed and perished, I trust that you will not refuse a woman's prayer. Yadviga Karlovetski." Perhaps I should have acted far more wisely, safely, and honestly, had I left this letter unanswered; but I tempted myself, I persuaded myself that nothing could happen, that it would be simply brutal not to come. The soul, poor moth, flies to the light which may burn it, but can neither warm nor enlighten it. What drew me hither ? Was it love ? Or can I myself tell whether I love yet this woman, so unlike my former white maiden, — this halflioness whose reputation is rent by people's tongues? Nol It was rather a kind of painful curiosity which attracted me; that immense sorrow which two years could not assuage; that thirst for every explanation of " Why ?" repeated amid sleepless nights. Well, let her see this emaciated face, let her look from near by at a broken life. I could not resist: such revenge belongs to me. But I shall preserve dignity, set my teeth and not groan. What has happened cannot be undone, and I swear to myself, that is the word (clenching his fists), that it shall never be undone.Scene II.Yadviga (entering). I beg pardon for letting you wait so long.Leo. It is my fault, of bourse. I came too early, tho... ... Read more

Product Description
"Quo Vadis: a Narrative of the Time of Nero" is the story of a love that develops between a young Christian woman, Lygia, and Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician. 'Quo Vadis' is Latin, meaning 'Where are you going?' and it is a reference to the New Testament verse John 13:36 which states, 'Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.' A captivating tale set in an ancient time, Quo Vadis is a novel with a very pro-Christian theme. ... Read more

Same book as "In Monte Carlo"
I bought a group of Sienkiewicz books with the Fredonia imprint (the covers mostly look a bit like this one) and found a lot of duplication among the group.For example, this books is the same as "In Monte Carlo".I think it's just a different translator.

To avoid duplicates, buy "On the Sunny Shore", "Dust and Ashes", "Without Dogma", "Children of the Soil", "Sielanka" and of course the Trilogy and the other books published by Hippocrene."Hania" is also good to get if you don't have Hippocrene's "The Little Trilogy" because "Hania" is a great story and is by far the best story in the "Little Trilogy".

I found "On the Sunny Shore" a good read, but it's really a novelette and a rather slight one at that.I enjoyed it, but this is my favorite author so that's not surprising.I'd recommend this one only to Sienkiewicz completists. ... Read more
