Silêncio

Book •
Set in the 17th century, "Silence" explores the persecution of Christians in Japan and the agonizing choices faced by Jesuit missionaries.

The novel follows Father Rodrigues as he journeys to Japan to investigate reports of apostasy by his mentor, Father Ferreira.

He witnesses the brutal suppression of Christianity and is forced to confront his own faith and the silence of God in the face of suffering.

Endo's work delves into the clash between Western and Eastern cultures, the nature of belief, and the complexities of moral compromise.

Through Rodrigues's journey, the novel questions the true meaning of faith and the cost of religious conviction.
