Jezus
Het verhaal van een levenGebaseerd op een nauwkeurige lezing van de vier evangeliën en met de sensibiliteit van de romanschrijver vertelt Endo het leven van Jezus, vanaf het moment dat hij vanuit Nazareth op weg gaat naar zijn leermeester Johannes de Doper tot de laatste woorden die hij roept aan het kruis. Endo zet de dramatische lijn van Jezus’ leven overtuigend neer: waar mensen stuk voor stuk afhaken bij Jezus’ boodschap die niet past bij hun eigen doelen en belangen, ontdekt Jezus de enige weg die tot verlossing leidt, de weg van liefde, ook al voert deze naar zijn vroege en gruwelijke dood. Kleurrijke karakterportretten van Johannes de Doper, Judas, Petrus, Pilatus, Kajafas, Herodes. Met een reconstructie van Jezus’ laatste dagen en een originele interpretatie van zijn opstanding.

Silence (novel)
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Silence is a 1966 novel of historical fiction by Japanese author Shusaku Endo. It is the story of a Jesuit missionary sent to seventeenth century Japan, who endured persecution in the time of Kakure Kirishitan ("Hidden Christians") that followed the defeat of the Shimabara Rebellion. The recipient of the 1966 Tanizaki Prize, it has been called "Endo's supreme achievement" and "one of the twentieth century's finest novels". Written partly in the form of a letter by its central character, the theme of a silent God who accompanies a believer in adversity was greatly influenced by the Catholic Endo's experience of religious discrimination in Japan, racism in France and debilitating tuberculosis.

Schweigen
Schweigen ist der wichtigste Roman des gefeierten japanischen Autors Sh¿saku End¿. Er verursachte nach seiner Veröffentlichung im Jahr 1966 eine große Kontroverse in Japan. Sh¿saku End¿, ein japanischer Katholik, erzählt die Geschichte zweier portugiesischer Missionare, die im siebzehnten Jahrhundert in Japan versuchen, die dortige unterdrückte christliche Bewegung zu unterstützen.1638 bricht Pater Sebastião Rodrigues nach Japan auf, um der Wahrheit hinter den undenkbaren Gerüchten, dass sein berühmter Lehrer Ferreira seinem Glauben abgeschworen habe, nachzugehen. Nach seiner Ankunft erlebt er die brutale und unmenschliche Verfolgung der Christen. Angesichts der Ereignisse in einer Gesellschaft, die keine Toleranz kennt und in der der Tod an der Tagesordung ist, stellt der Autor die immerwährende Frage: Wie kann Gott zu all dem schweigen?
