Let Us Follow Him
by Henryk Sienkiewicz
Translated by Jeremiah Curtain
Narrated by Ron Altman
Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846 – 1916) is best known today for his substantial historical novels, the most famous of which is “Quo Vadis,” the idea for which came from the writing of “Let Us Follow Him.”
The period of the novella is that of the death of Christ. Antea, the wife of a Roman patrician, ill with terrible visions, is advised by a physician to seek the air of Jerusalem. There she and her husband meet Pilate, who tells them of the doctrine of the Nazarene, Jesus, and his condemnation to death. They are present at the Crucifixion, and Antea gives honor to the condemned Nazarene, saying, “Thou art Truth.”
