Silence
by Shusaku Endo
€ 13.75
ISBN: 9781805330783
Father Sebastian Rodrigues sets sail for Japan in 1640. He is on a mission to find one of the Portuguese Jesuits that went before him, a spiritual example to the younger priests, and disprove the shocking rumours that this man has betrayed his faith. Embarking full of idealistic fire, Rodrigues soon finds that life in this strange land will challenge his convictions, too. For the Tokugawa shogunate has banned Christianity and expelled all the missionaries from Japan - and the believers who remain must worship in secret or face torture and execution.
Inspired by the author's own experience as a Japanese Catholic, this masterpiece of historical fiction, hailed as one of the twentieth century's finest novels, tells a harrowing story of compassion, doubt, and enduring faith.
