"One of the best historical novels by anyone, ever." -- David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas and The Bone Clocks

"All of Endo's work has been influential. He truly understands what it means to be both of--and not of--a place." -- Caryl Phillips, Guggenheim Fellow and award-winning author of The Lost Child

"Silence I regard as a masterpiece, a lucid and elegant drama."-The New York Review of Books
Seventeenth-century Japan: Two Portuguese Jesuit priests travel to a country hostile to their religion, where feudal lords force the faithful to publicly renounce their beliefs. Eventually captured and forced to watch their Japanese Christian brothers lay down their lives for their faith, the priests bear witness to unimaginable cruelties that test their own beliefs. Shusaku Endo is one of the most celebrated and well-known Japanese fiction writers of the twentieth century, and Silence is widely considered to be his great masterpiece.
