Abstract

Saramago’s writing, repeatedly analytical and self-referential, dialogues seductively with the cultural universe of the Western reader, with biblical and apocryphal narratives. The figure of Judas, whether in poetry or in The Gospel According to Jesus Christ, allows José Saramago to desacralize the ambitious and tyrannical gods and to deify man, in a committed discourse, simultaneously marked by the ethics of love and compassion for the Other.
