Summary
Judas is a compelling novel by renowned Israeli author Amos Oz, exploring themes of betrayal, love, and ideological conflicts. Set in 1959 Jerusalem, the story follows Shmuel Ash, a young, disillusioned student who becomes a caretaker for an elderly man. He discovers the intertwined histories of a mysterious woman and a disgraced scholar, delving into questions about Judas Iscariot's perceived betrayal and the ideological underpinnings of modern Zionism. Through richly layered narratives, Oz masterfully weaves a tale of moral dilemmas and re-examines the nature of loyalty and betrayal in both personal and political contexts.
