In Silence he pleads for more understanding of the weak, cowardly Christian with whom he wishes to identify. Both Rodrigues and Kichijiro “betray” Christ yet in spite of their treachery, they somehow cling to him in their hearts.Įndo feels there have been enough romantic biographies of the hero saint. Endo puts his intellectual misgivings about Christianity into the mouth of the foreign priest, while the sniveling Japanese informer, Kichijiro, gives expression to Endo’s basic emotions. But it is probably more accurate, as well as more interesting, to take the work as the spiritual autobiography of the author, Shusaku Endo, himself a Japanese Catholic. Silence is, on the surface, a historical novel dealing with 17th-century persecution of Christians in Japan. He seems to hear (or is it only his imagination?) Christ calling to him: “Trample on Me to save them.” And trample he does, though his foot “pains.” He has doubts about his faith, about the usefulness of his work. A stalwart Christian saint would choose martyrdom but Rodrigues, the main character of Silence, is not the traditional Christian hero. To trample upon the bronze figure of the crucified Christ in order to save the lives of Japanese Christians being tortured in the pit, or to refuse and condemn them to a terrifying death-this is the dilemma that confronts Portuguese missionary Sebastian Rodrigues.

Kipling was one of the most popular writers in England, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story his children's books are classics of children's literature and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901), and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). The Complete Stalky & Co., first published 30 years later, includes five stories not published in the original edition.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan explains the impact this enigmatic figure had on Japan and its place on the world stage. He shows how Hirohito avoided punishment for his nation’s defeat and how the Japanese people have struggled to come to terms with this dark chapter in their history. Bix has unearthed hundreds of previously untapped documents, including the unpublished letters and diaries of Hirohito’s royal court, shedding light on his uniquely active yet self-effacing stewardship.ĭebunking the common image of Hirohito as a pawn in the hands of the military, Bix exposes the emperor’s personal involvement in every stage of the Pacific War. Trained since childhood to lead his nation as a living deity, Japan’s Emperor Hirohito cultivated a detached façade which masked a fierce cunning and powerful ambition. In the mid-seventies, Stephanie began working in the Poets-in-the-Schools program in Pennsylvania. Marriage and the sudden addition to her life of three young stepsons, and then a son, forced writing into the nooks and crannies, but she wrote poetry and plays for adults as she taught college English. Other ambitions came and went, but writing stayed on, and she majored in creative writing at Purdue University, then went on to a Master's Degree in English. It was thrilling to discover she could make the magic herself, and she decided then and there to be a writer. Born in Ohio and raised in Wisconsin, she wrote her first story in the fourth grade. She always thought there was a special magic in the little black marks on paper that could turn into whole worlds and real people.
