Description

STATED FIRST PRINTING. 1970 Charles Tuttle hardcover, Japanese import. Shusaku Endo (Silence). The events described in this exciting and provocative three-act play, a companion piece to Endo's highly acclaimed novel Silence, take place in 1633, nearly a hundred years after Christianity was introduced into Japan. By this time, Japanese Christians were being cruelly persecuted by the government; every Christian searched out was made to apostatize or suffer a slow, agonizing death. - Amazon - from Amzon
