| Summary | "De martelaars der wetenschap" by Gaston Tissandier is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the themes of sacrifice and dedication in the pursuit of scientific discovery, showcasing various figures throughout history who faced persecution or hardships in their quest for knowledge. The narrative emphasizes the struggles and triumphs of these scientific martyrs, drawing parallels with religious martyrs who have fought for their beliefs. The opening of the book sets the tone for this exploration by contrasting the well-known heroes of military and religious history with lesser-known figures from the realm of science. Tissandier introduces the concept that, just as religious figures have suffered for their faith, many scientists have endured tremendous hardships for the sake of advancing human understanding. The preface underscores the importance of recognizing these contributions, stating that progress in science often comes at a great personal cost, inviting readers to reflect on the sacrifices made by these martyrs for knowledge and truth.
