review 1: El libro narra la conversión y la vida del Dr Nagai, radiólogo converso al cristianismo, acogido en la comunidad de Nagasaki y víctima de la bomba atómica, que perdonó y supo ver la mano de Dios en lo que acontecía a su pueblo. El autor va introduciendo al lector en la cultura y costumbres niponas, especialmente en lo referente al cristianismo japonés, introduciendo habilmente reflexiones del propio Nagai, crónica histórica, explicaciones culturales, dichos y poemas, etc. El resultado final es un libro delicioso, que se lee con mucha facilidad pero que a la vez es muy profundo, que deja con ganas de más.
review 2: If we could all be as wise and full of faith as Takashi Nagai, this would be such a better world!! This amazing man could have been harden
... moreed and embittered after an atomic bomb wiped out his home, his wife, and so much more, but instead he inspired and uplifted others in the midst of so much tragedy. This biography not only follows Nagai's early life, his conversion to Catholicism, his work with radiology, and his sufferings with radiation illness, but also enhances the story by sprinkling in the history and culture of Japan. Very uplifting! less
