Autorenporträt
Shusaku Endo is one of the great contemporary classics of Japanese literature. After graduating in French literature from the University of Kio, he studied for three years in Lyon on a scholarship from the Japanese government. Belonging to the so-called "third generation", his work stands out for recreating the experiences and reflecting the life of the Catholic minority in Japan, with particular sensitivity to explore the great moral dilemmas that his characters face.
