«Judas» is the novel by Amos Oz, published by French and European Publications Inc in paperback (352 pages, in French).
In the Jerusalem of 1959, Shmuel, a penniless student, finds lodging and a small salary as a companion to an old man, the eccentric Gershom Wald, in exchange for conversation and reading. The enigmatic Atalia Abravanel also lives in that house; the fascination she arouses in Shmuel intertwines with his research on Judas.
Originally published in Hebrew in 2014; French translation by Sylvie Cohen. Awarded the Internationaler Literaturpreis 2015 and shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2017.
