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.
