Reviews

A narrative of austere power.--Adam Mars-Jones
A historical fiction with meanings for many cultures and all seasons, and a great travel narrative; its re-creations of place, from marshy north-east Japan, to the storm-tossed eastern and western oceans, to the deserts of Central Mexico, to the pomps of Baroque Madrid and Rome, are extraordinary. The Samurai is animated by a rich and full spiritual vision.
Endo to my mind is one of the finest living novelists.--Graham Greene
Thick with adventure.-- (07/17/2018)
