Excerpt from Quo Vadis: A Tale of the Time of Nero
This translation, therefore, aims to be faithful to both Em glish and Polish. The needless iterations which are legit 'mate in Polish have been dropped as illegitimate in English. Thus a large number of ands, buts, and meanwhiles have been weeded out, as well as all such phrases as so say ing, or with these words, which retard the reader without enlightening him. He began to do so and so has been altered into He did so and so. More important still, Pol ish idioms and locutions, meaningless to English ears, have been rendered into the nearest possible equivalents with tho same object of aiding the reader, and the Latin terms have been carefully translated in the text itself.

Biografía del autor
Born into an impoverished Polish noble family in Russian-ruled Congress Poland, in the late 1860s Sienkiewicz began publishing journalistic and literary pieces. In the late 1870s he traveled to the United States, sending back travel essays that won him popularity with Polish readers. In the 1880s he began serializing novels that further increased his popularity. He soon became one of the most popular Polish writers at the turn of the 20th century and numerous translations gained him international renown, culminating in his receipt of the 1905 Nobel Prize in Literature for his "outstanding merits as an epic writer."
