Rendition As Books Judas
«Amos Oz narra en Judas las grandes preguntas y conflictos de la historia y de la religión en Oriente Próximo».Judas, el regreso de Amos Oz a la novela, género que no había frecuentado desde Una historia de amor y oscuridad, plantea una audaz y novedosa interpretación de la figura de Judas Iscariote en el contexto de una angustiosa y delicada historia de amor.
En el invierno de 1959, el mundo del joven Shmuel Ash se viene abajo: su novia lo abandona, sus padres se arruinan y él se ve obligado a dejar sus estudios en la universidad. En ese momento desesperado, encuentra refugio y trabajo en una vieja casa de piedra de Jerusalén, donde deberá hacer compañía y conversar con un anciano inválido y sarcástico. A su llegada, una atractiva mujer llamada Atalia advertirá a Shmuel de que no se enamore de ella; ese ha sido el motivo de la expulsión de sus predecesores. En la aparente rutina que se crea en la casa, el tímido Shmuel siente una progresiva agitación causada, en parte, por el deseo y la curiosidad que Atalia le provoca. También retoma su investigación sobre la imagen de Jesús para los judíos, y la misteriosa y maldita figura de Judas Iscariote, la supuesta encarnación de la traición y la mezquindad, va absorbiéndole sin remedio.

I can't remember the last time spending so much time with a book --- and I'm not done yet. I'm preparing for a serious die-hard discussion coming up at my temple. I've listened to the audiobook, have read the ebook, and will get a copy of the physical book to examine soon too. By the time my book club meets -I'll have read this book 3 times.The more I research this book's topics - themes - and Amos Oz's personal political-and religious point of views - mixed with the realities that Israel wasOn Hurting God There must seem something paradoxical to some of the religious folks in the idea that anyone could in anyway hurt God or his relative. They thus want to argue that such people who might have done something against God were, in fact, folks who just wanted to Give the God (and relations) leverage to create drama or God made them that way for drama. Many versions of Ramayana would have you believe that Ravana, in fact, was a devotee of Rama and, all he did, was to get killed from
IdealpolitikAs it happens, two of the six novels on the shortlist for the 2017 Man Booker International Prize were by distinguished Israeli authors. Both writers are concerned about the foundation of the country in their parents' generation, and the consequences that flow from it to the present day. But there are differences between the two. The winning novel, A Horse Walked into a Bar by David Grossman (b. 1954), features an aging comedian performing what may be his last stand-up routine; the
This is the third outstanding work Ive read by an Israeli in as many weeks, and I find myself falling under a spell of admiration again for a culture that fights back against the worst aspects of itself, interrogates itself relentlessly, and creates humor around the morose recognition of mans fallibility. Into a novel describing three generations living together in Jerusalem in a small house, Amos Oz weaves history, religion, politics, and leadership into a meditation on the why and how of
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, Judas Oz, and the publisher, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt , for this opportunity.This is a vastly intellectual read that broached political and religious subjects with a bluntness that provides the reader with no option other than to approach their own beliefs, on the matters discussed, with the same appetite. Whilst these features of the text were shocking in nature and whilst this was certainly insightful of
Update - After an excellent book club discussion, I am raising my rating to 3.6 stars rounded up to 4 stars. The more time spent with this novel, the more I've appreciated it and learned from it. I am conflicted about this book. Oz uses the novel as a vehicle for his ideas about the creation of the Israeli state as well as the role Judas played in instigating Christianity. He is an excellent writer and expertly uses the characters to propagate these ideas. Yet I felt impatient with the static
This was my first Amoz Oz book and was another pleasant surprise on the Man Booker International long list. The theories about Judas Iscariot were interesting and make me want to revisit the New Testament details. (I'm pretty sure that Judas is not mentioned as being present at the crucifixion, and that the timeline was laid out as he had killed himself before then?). There were many sections, mainly when Gershom Wald was speaking, which I reread for their beauty & wisdom.I think I would
