The Polish writer Henryk Sienkiewicz wrote the novel Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero 1895 which in turn has been made into motion pictures several times including a 1951 version that was nominated for eight Academy Awards. For this and other novels Sienkiewicz received the 1905 Nobel Prize for Literature. In a season four episode of MASH entitled "Quo Vadis Captain Chandler" the reference pertains to Jesus Christ. A shellshocked officer arrives at the Hospital believing he is the Christ. He has numerous conversations with the characters including Father Mulcahy. He ultimately leaves the MASH unit for an evacuation hospital still unrecovered and leaving the audience wanting for resolution. <br/><br/> Easton Press hardcover
