Welcome to Litsy!

Amos Oz is a great writer indeed! And this novel about the birth of Christianity and the foundation of the State of Israel more actual than ever.

It's not a bad idea to read a book by Amos Oz every now and then. So I was quite content with this book, even though it dragged a little at the end. As always, the author talks about important topics and digs deep into them. He makes his readers thinking by themselves. And even though Oz' books mostly revolve around the same topics, he manages it to present them in another way in every book. Yes, it's good to read Amos Oz from time to time.

AmosOz‘ writing is so soothing. So soft and gentle, yet so powerful. I love this book. #amosoz #israel #novel #bestseller #jerusalem #2014

A short summary of the Gospel from Judas' perspective. He felt guilty but not repentent.

Another brilliant book from Amos OZ oeuvre. An intellectually and emotionally scintillating novel set in 1950s Jerusalem weaving stories of coming-of-age, love, heartbreak, hope and hopelessness with a thought-provoking study of betrayal.

“So apart from your sister, and apart from Lenin and Jesus, you have no close friends in the whole world? Never mind. You are not obliged to answer. You are a valiant warrior in the army of world reformers, and I am merely part of the corruption of the world...”

I ♥️ this book! #amosoz #judas
