500    "Now a major motion picture" on front cover. 
500    Shusaku Endo's classic novel of enduring faith in 
       dangerous times. Seventeenth-century Japan : Two 
       Portuguese Jesuit priests travel to a country hostile to 
       their religion, where feudal lords force the faithful to 
       publicly renounce their beliefs. Eventually captured and 
       forced to watch their Japanese Christian brothers lay down
       their lives for their faith, the priests bear witness to 
       unimaginable cruelties that test their own beliefs. 
       Shusaku Endo is one of the most celebrated and well-known 
       Japanese fiction writers of the twentieth century, and 
       Silence is widely considered to be his great masterpiece. 
504    Includes an expanded discussion guide. 
520    Sustained by dreams of glorious martyrdom, a seventeenth-
       century Portuguese missionary in Japan administers to the 
       outlawed Christians until Japanese authorities capture him
       and force him to watch the torture of his followers, 
       promising to stop if he will renounce Christ.
