Description

Amos Oz's Judas explores the profound questions and conflicts that have shaped history and religion in the Middle East. In this novel, Oz offers a bold and innovative interpretation of the figure of Judas Iscariote within a delicate and anguished love story. In the winter of 1959, Shmuel Ash's world is turned upside down: his relationship ends, his parents struggle financially, and he must leave university. Desperate for refuge, he finds work in an ancient stone house in Jerusalem, where he forms an unlikely bond with a frail and sarcastic old man. Atalia, a captivating woman who warns Shmuel against falling in love with her, becomes a presence that disrupts his routine. As Shmuel's investigations into the image of Jesus for Jews deepen, the enigmatic figure of Judas Iscariote begins to haunt him. This retelling of the biblical tale is woven into the fabric of Shmuel's story, blurring the lines between past and present.
