A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Now a major film directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Adam Driver, Andrew Garfield and Liam Neeson.

In 1637 two Portuguese Christian missionaries undertake a perilous search for their teacher missing on the hostile islands of Japan. If discovered, they face the same fate as other practising Christians: torture at the hands of the Shogun and his Samurai until they renounce their Christian faith.

Shusaku Endo's classic novel Silence is a gripping story of faith, persecution and doubt. Since its publication the novel has become the director Martin Scorsese's passion project, having set out his ambition to adapt Silence for the screen more than twenty years ago.

This hardback movie tie-in edition of Endo's Silence is introduced by Martin Scorsese.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Translated from the Japanese by William Johnston, this special edition is issued in celebration of the release of Martin Scorsese's film adaptation of the novel. Silence is the most important novel of the acclaimed Japanese author Shusaku Endo. It caused a major controversy in Japan following its publication in 1967. A Japanese Catholic, Endo tells the story of two seventeenth-century missionaries attempting to shore up the oppressed Japanese Christian movement. Father Rodrigues has come to Japan to find the truth behind unthinkable rumours 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.
