Novels by Shusaku Endo: Silence, Deep River, Wonderful Fool, Scandal by Shūsaku Endō
5.0
Incredibly written, this work of historical fiction follows a Portuguese priest as he attempts to bring the residents of Japan to salvation. This is not an action packed adventure with close calls or dramatic plot lines, but rather a study of human character and growth.
Through the priest's journey he eventually learns about the true meaning of sacrifice, forgiveness, and true salvation. The answers are much simpler when we don't fully understand the question, but the loss of this simplicity of mind brings forth growth of spirit that can ultimately redeem a soul. This is a thought provoking book that contemplative minds will enjoy.
