	PETRONIUS FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Some lines of Sidonius_Apollinaris refer to him and are often taken to imply that he lived and wrote at Marseille.
		If, however, we accept the identification of this author with the ''Petronius'' of Tacitus, Nero's courtier, we must suppose either that Marseille was his birthplace or, as is more likely, that Sidonius refers to the novel itself and that its scene was partly laid at Marseille.
		In the novel ''Quo Vadis'' and its versions, C. Petronius is the preferred courtier of Nero, using his wit to adulate and mock him at the same time.

		Until recently I lived in a New York City building, one of whose doormen was a former Olympic wrestler who had played the gladiator Croton in Quo Vadis.
		Yet, while there are few cross references among the papers, the positions argued show a remarkable coherence and a convincing result: not a rehabilitation of Nero, but a certainty that his traditional image rests on extremely tenuous and in many cases untenable assumptions.
		She argues that each country reinterpreted the story of Nero and the persecution of Christians in the arena to suit its own political and nationalistic myth (sometimes paradoxically, as DeMille, e.g., appropriated the beneficent Nero to epitomize Hollywood's generosity).

	Henryk Sienkiewicz Biography / Biography of Henryk Sienkiewicz Biography Biography
		The Polish novelist and short-story writer Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916) wrote historical novels on an epic scale.
		Sienkiewicz next turned to a contemporary setting, offering a lengthy diagnosis of the Polish upper-class fin-de-siècle malaise in Without Dogma (1890); its somewhat morbid hero was sharply contrasted with the progressive and robust characters of Children of the Soil (1894).
		This novel is considered a stylistic masterpiece, and it remained for many years the most successful fictional publication in history.

		Every great work of art, regardless of its author's values, is a lesson in concretization, and as such is invaluable to everyone who wants to be able to connect his abstract ideas to reality and avoid "floating abstractions".
		Ayn Rand, for example, considered the novel Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz to be the best artistic concretization of Christianity.
		So is her admiration of Dostoyevsky, who was probably opposite of Rand both in philosophy and in sense of life (I have to admit I only read a novel and a half by him, until now).
