- Synopsis
- One of the late Shusaku Endo's finest works," The Samurai" tells of the journey of some of the first Japanese to set foot on European soil and the resulting clash of cultures and politics.The Samurai, a superbly crafted novel, is in many ways exactly what the author hoped it would be: a symphonic piece, bringing together East and West, faith and unbelief, fervor and passivity. While the traditions are dissimilar, the concluding refrain sounds out clearly and harmoniously. For those who have treasured Endo's other novels, this one is a gem.
