Judas Iscariot

Judas from Kariot – a symbol of betrayal, a great sinner who condemned Jesus Christ to death. At the same time, Judas is perhaps the most enigmatic character of the Gospel – this is what makes him attractive to Leonid... Andreyev with his interest in the contradictions within the human soul. The story "Judas Iscariot," according to the author himself, is "a fantasy on the theme of betrayal, good and evil." Andreyev attempts to understand what guided Judas' actions and why he takes his own life. The writer fills the biblical plot of betrayal with psychological content, reflecting on love and hate, suffering and self-sacrifice, the accidental and the inevitable. The collection also includes the novel "The Diary of Satan," the stories "The Life of Vasily the Theban," "The Tale of the Seven Hanged," and other works from various periods of Andreyev's creativity.
