About This Novel
Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese has been obsessed with it for 25 years and insisted on making it into a movie of the same name. It was named the best adapted screenplay in 2016 by the National Board of Review and was selected as one of the top ten feature films of the year. "Silence" won the 2nd Junichiro Tanizaki Award and was translated into more than 20 languages and sold well all over the world. The novel tells the story of a Portuguese Jesuit priest who smuggled himself to Japan to preach in a small village near Nagasaki during the Tokugawa Shogunate's ban on Christianity. It tells a thrilling story about faith and challenges, and answers the questions hidden in everyone's heart: What is the meaning of life, why should we have faith, and what is the purpose of our lives when we wake up every day?

It's not bad, but it's quite difficult to understand. It's a very thoughtful book.
I have read the evil spirits written by him, and I remember being frightened when I was still young.
