Translated from the Japanese by Richard A. Schuchert. 175 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Ivy Strick. keywords: Literature Translated Japan Asia . FROM THE PUBLISHER - This work by the author of Silence and When I Whistle will confirm Shusaku Endo's stature as today's leading Japanese novelist, for Volcano is at once a powerful novel of ideas and a dramatic, suspenseful narrative. The action takes place over a few months in the lives of two men - Jinpei Suda, a volcanologist, and Durand, an unfrocked French Catholic priest. Both men have become obsessed by Akadake, a quiescent volcano that is either in its death throes or taking on renewed life. For both men, the question of whether the volcano is still active or not becomes their overriding concern, the question that justifies their own lives. Suda, retired and ignored by his family, has spent fifteen years studying the volcano and is convinced that it is dying. His expert opinion is vital to an important business tycoon who plans to build a lavish resort hotel on the volcano's higher slopes. Durand, ill and bitter, is equally certain that the volcano will erupt, pouring streams of lava down on the religious retreat being built by Father Sato, a complacent Japanese priest arid Durand's self-satisfied successor. Overshadowing all their lives is the volcano. To Durand, it is a symbol of evil and a possible judgment on people who can never understand the significance of sin and redemption. To Suda, it must remain dormant or wreck the thesis on which he has spent much of his life. Described by the Times Literary Supplement as a carefully elaborated thriller, Volcano is also a compelling and forceful picture of the sad state of human life when it is devoid of deep love. inventory #3081 Very Good in Dustjacket With Some Wear and Tears At The Top Of The Spine.
