The most important novel of the acclaimed Japanese author Shusaku Endo caused a major controversy in Japan following its publication in 1967. Now with a foreword by Martin Scorsese. A Japanese Catholic, Endo tells the story of two 17th-century missionaries attempting to shore up the oppressed Japanese Christian movement. Father Rodrigues has come to Japan to find the truth behind unthinkable rumors that his famous teacher Ferreira has renounced his faith. But after his arrival he discovers that the only way to help the brutally persecuted Christians may be to apostatize himself.

Revue de presse :
Endo's stark, strange theological novel looks back to 17th-century Japan to raise an enduring question: why does God remain with folded arms, silent in the face of human suffering? Telling the story of Fr Rodrigues, a Portuguese Jesuit who follows his missionary vocation to Japan at a time of violent religious persecution, Silence is a compelling historical fiction, a potent distillation of the paradoxes and ambiguities of faith and, from a Christian author, a daring challenge to religious orthodoxy. --The Guardian 1000 Novels Everyone Must Read
A remarkable work . . . sombre, delicate and startlingly empathetic. --John Updike, New Yorker
One of the finest historical novels written by anyone, anywhere . . . Flawless. --David Mitchell
