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.
