HTML:<p><b>International Bestseller<br /> <br /> Winner of the International Literature Prize<br /> <br /> Finalist for the Man Booker International Prize<br /> A <i>New York Times</i> Editors' Choice</b><br /> <br /> "[A] magnificent novel . . . Oz pitches the book's heartbreak and humanism perfectly from first page to last." — <i>New York Times Book Review</i><br /> <br /> "Scintillating . . . An old-fashioned novel of ideas that is strikingly and compellingly modern." — <i>Observer</i><br /> <br /> Jerusalem, 1959. Shmuel Ash, a biblical scholar, is adrift in his young life when he finds work as a caregiver for a brilliant but cantankerous old man named Gershom Wald. There is, however, a third, mysterious presence in his new home. Atalia Abravanel, the daughter of a deceased Zionist leader, a beautiful woman in her forties, entrances young Shmuel even as she keeps him at a distance. Piece by piece, the old Jerusalem stone house, haunted by tragic history and now home to the three misfits and their intricate relationship, reveals its secrets.<br /> At once an exquisite love story and a coming-of-age novel, an allegory for the state of Israel and for the biblical tale from which it draws its title, <i>Judas</i> is Amos Oz's most powerful novel in decades.<br /> <br /> "Oz has written one of the most triumphant novels of his career." — <i>Forward</i><br /> <br /> "A [big] beautiful novel . . . Funny, wise, and provoking." — <i>Times</i> (UK)</p>. Media Type: eBook.
