En octubre de 1613, cuatro samuráis emprenden un viaje marítimo hacia México, acompañados por un sacerdote español que sirve como intérprete. Su misión sin precedentes es negociar privilegios comerciales con Occidente, a cambio de permitir a los misioneros europeos predicar el cristianismo en Japón. Sin embargo, al fracasar su proyecto, los emisarios continúan su viaje hacia España e Italia, convirtiéndose en los primeros japoneses en pisar suelo europeo. 'El Samurai', un hito en la novelística japonesa del siglo XX, explora temas como la fe, la fragilidad, la ambición y la lealtad, abordados con agudeza por Endo.
Shūsaku Endō was a Japanese author who wrote from the perspective of a Japanese Catholic. Internationally, he is known for his 1966 historical fiction novel Silence, which was adapted into a 2016 film of the same name by director Martin Scorsese. He was the laureate of several prestigious literary accolades, including the Akutagawa Prize and the Order of Culture, and was inducted into the Roman Catholic Order of St. Sylvester by Pope Paul VI.
