The novel was first serialized and then published as a book in 1896, a year after its slow release in the papers.

His most famous work was Quo Vadis, for which he did extensive research. As a journalist, he traveled to the United States, sending back travel essays, which earned him enormous popularity among his people. The author, Henryk Sienkiewicz, was a Polish author, journalist, and a Nobel Prize laureate who lived in Russian Poland.
