Judas Iscariot by Leonid Andreyev
The book presents a reimagining of the character of Judas Iscariot, traditionally known as the betrayer of Jesus Christ. It delves into the psychological and moral complexities of Judas, exploring his inner turmoil, motivations, and the factors that may have led him to commit the act of betrayal. The narrative seeks to humanize Judas, offering a nuanced perspective that challenges the conventional vilification he has received throughout history. Through this character study, the book examines themes of guilt, redemption, and the nature of evil, ultimately raising questions about free will and the role of individuals within the grander schemes of destiny and divine plans.
