| Summary | "Let Us Follow Him" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a historical novella set during the time surrounding the death of Christ, written in the late 19th century. This story reflects on the profound impact of the teachings of Jesus as experienced by the characters, primarily focusing on Antea, the wife of a Roman patrician. The key themes encompass love, hope, and the search for truth, with an insightful exploration of human experience juxtaposed against the backdrop of historical events. The narrative follows Caius Septimius Cinna and his wife Antea, who, suffering from mysterious visions, travels to Jerusalem in hopes of finding relief. They encounter the figure of Jesus and are witnesses to his crucifixion. Antea, profoundly moved by the teachings and calm demeanor of the Nazarene, finds a sense of connection between her suffering and the promise of resurrection that he exemplifies. As she grapples with her impending death, she experiences a transformation inspired by Jesus's message of love and hope. Ultimately, the novella culminates in a poignant moment where Antea, seeing Jesus's spirit, expresses a desire to follow him, signifying a shift from despair to faith. This story poignantly captures the essence of Sienkiewicz's exploration of faith and the human condition, inviting readers to reflect on the enduring power of love and belief.
