Description
A classic of Japanese literature, The Samurai is one of Shūsaku Endo’s finest and most atmospheric works, brilliantly conveying the searing traumas of faith, both lost and newly discovered.
In 17th-century Japan, a ship sets sail for Nueva España as part of an envoy to expand trade with the West. Onboard are a zealous Spanish missionary, who dreams of becoming bishop of Japan, and a disenchanted Samurai seeking to recover his lost family lands.
In a journey full of peril, both men’s lives and ambitions hang in the balance as political machinations loom large and the terrifying persecution of Christians advances through Japan.
Winner of the 1980 Noma Literary Prize, The Samurai is an intensely moving portrait of human courage and endurance, taken from a real event in history, and told with Endo’s signature stark simplicity.
