The Silent Cry Book by Kenzaburō Ōe (Farsi)

Description

The Silent Cry by Kenzaburō Ōe (1967) is a dark and profound novel exploring personal suffering, family bonds, and the lingering effects of postwar Japan. The story centers on two brothers, Mitsusaburo (“Mitsu”) and Takashi, who return to their ancestral village after very different life experiences. Mitsu grapples with tragedy, including the death of his infant son and his wife Natsumi’s severe psychological struggles, while Takashi pursues a revival of a century-old peasant revolt led by their ancestor. As they confront the village’s history and their own fractured lives, Ōe delves into existential themes of identity, isolation, and the search for meaning. The novel is celebrated for its intricate characterization, evocative portrayal of rural Japan, and its meditation on the human struggle to reconcile past and present.
