Silence: A Novel

Shusaku Endo's masterpiece of enduring faith in perilous times, "Silence," is now a major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Andrew Garfield, Liam Neeson, and Adam Driver. The New York Review of Books hails it as "a lucid and elegant drama."

In seventeenth-century Japan, two Portuguese Jesuit priests embark on a journey to a nation hostile to their religion. Feudal lords compel believers to renounce their faith openly. Captured and compelled to witness the sacrifice of their Japanese Christian brethren, the priests face unimaginable cruelties that challenge their own convictions.

Shusaku Endo, a renowned Japanese fiction writer of the twentieth century, is celebrated for "Silence," considered his magnum opus.
