Leonid Andreyev – Judas Iscariot (Yahuda İskariot) – Türkiye İş Bankası Yayınları Edition (2019)

Description:

This is the 2019 Turkish edition of Judas Iscariot (Yahuda İskariot), published by Türkiye İş Bankası Yayınları. Written by Leonid Andreyev and first published in 1907, the novella is one of the author's most famous and controversial works.

The story offers a psychological reinterpretation of Judas Iscariot, the disciple traditionally remembered for betraying Jesus. Rather than portraying Judas as a simple villain, Andreyev presents him as a deeply complex and conflicted individual driven by doubt, devotion, loneliness, and a desperate desire to understand truth. Through this unconventional perspective, the work explores questions of faith, free will, betrayal, redemption, and the nature of human morality.

Leonid Andreyev was one of the leading figures of the Russian Silver Age and is known for his psychologically intense and philosophically challenging fiction. His works often examine the darker aspects of human nature, existential anxiety, and moral conflict, placing him among the most distinctive Russian writers of the early twentieth century.

This Türkiye İş Bankası Yayınları edition presents a modern Turkish translation of Andreyev’s acclaimed novella. As a bold reinterpretation of a well-known biblical figure, the work remains an important example of psychological and philosophical literature.
