'Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle.' In this charming book from 1906, Okakura explores Zen, Taoism, Tea Masters and the significance of the Japanese tea ceremony. It is both a paean to the art of simplicity, and a wry critique of the West's view of Japan.

Considerat unul dintre cele mai reusite romane ale lui Shusaku Endo, Samuraiul surprinde momentul persecutiei crestine in Japonia, povestind si intimplarile prin care trec primii japonezi ce pasesc in Europa.

„Tacere este unul dintre cele mai frumoase romane istorice scrise vreodata... Pur si simplu fara cusur.” (The Washington Post)
