Om denne bog
From beloved Japanese author Shu¯saku Endo¯, a newly discovered novella and five short stories of love, grief, and maternal longing   Shu¯saku Endo¯, widely considered one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, is known for his historical novels, which masterfully probe the encounters between the cultures and religions of East and West from a Japanese Catholic perspective. A salient and curious theme in his work is the unique image of a maternal God, and a concomitant sense of loss and longing for maternal love.  Confronting the Shadows, the semiautobiographical novella discovered at the Endo¯ Museum in Nagasaki in 2020, is Endo¯’s most personal work and the interpretive key to his entire oeuvre. It tells the story of Suguro, an aspiring novelist who was separated from his mother after his parents’ divorce. Desperate to understand the woman his mother was, he sets out to retrace her footsteps, only to find himself face to face with his own demons. Accompanying the novella are five stories, each disclosing the intricacies of the sacred feminine and the apprehensions and joys of familial love. Endo once again beams bright light into the hidden corners of the human heart in this remarkable new collection.
