Description and Table of Contents

Description

Sono's narrator sensitively explores cultural differences, religious faith, science and the question of miracles, and the atrocity of Auschwitz where St. Kolbe offered up his life in exchange for a condemned prisoner. Already described as a "minor classic" ofJapanese literature before it was translated into English, Doak's translation makes available this remarkable work by one of postwar Japan's most talented writers to a broader, international audience.
