Summary/Abstract: In the article the author tries to prove that we might learn a little from Sienkiewicz about how to communicate the truth using Aesopian speech to elude the latest group of censors and perhaps for a while even elude the grasp of the latest tyrant. I wonder, further, whether we may learn not only how the Christians were persecuted under Nero, and how the Polish people were martyred under the Kulturkampf, but also how all who are martyred can unite their own sufferings with those of Christ crucified, and how, trusting in Him, we may share in his heavenly beatitude.
