The article The first apologetic novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz refers to a novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz Children of the soil. The piece of work consists of four sections. In the first one , I showed that the apology for Christianity was a conscious target of the author of the novel. In the second, I presented a review of a previous novel by Sienkiewicz Without dogma, written by prof. Stanisław Tarnowski, as it forms an essential ideology background for the comprehension of our author’s views. Next, I made a review of the most interesting remarks of the contemporary researchers on the theme of Children of the soil. In the fourth section, I analyze the contents of the novel and extract different and visible in it planes of apologia: from the criticism of bourgeois morality, through romantic visions of the future of Christianity, up to the alternations of attitudes of particular characters in the Christian spirit.
