In October 1613, four samurai set sail for Mexico, accompanied by a
Spanish priest who was supposed to act as interpreter. The purpose
of this unprecedented mission was to negotiate commercial
privileges with the Western world; in return, European missionaries
would be allowed to preach Christianity in Japan. However, when
their project failed, the emissaries continued their journey to
Spain and Italy and were the first Japanese to set foot on European
soil. A milestone in 20th century Japanese novels, The
Samurai is a profound exploration of faith, frailty, ambition and
loyalty, all of which Endo tackled with unparalleled wit and
brilliance. Â
