Insofar I could agree with Mickiewicz, today Sienkiewicz's writing has absolutely no value whatsoever. His stories are shallow, prots are dull (le ebin good guy with all the good characteristics one can possibly have) and his prose is mediocre at best, nothing outstanding to it. Quo Vadis is his opus magnum and at incomparably higher level than his so-called "to refresh the hearts" stories, although I don't deny their historical significance.

Quo Vadis isn't that great. I mean, the prose, the knowledge of Ancient Rome Sienkiewicz has is great, and he's great at building that feel of it but it's bogged down by repetitive, oversentimental romance story. It also spreads the myth that it was Nero himself who ordered to burn down Rome, when it was most likely an accident that both of the sides (Christians and ruling Romans) used to their advantage. In Desert and Wilderness is unironically better.

Ako si prepoznati pisac, izdat će. Makar ovisi kakav tip edgy stvari, ako je npr. o pedofiliji, nasilju, itd. moglo bi, tako je Zoran Ferić pisao teške morbidarije na početku karijere. Ali ako je na stvari npr. negiranje Jasenovca, onda bu znatno teže.
