About this book

Judas Romance lirico em quatro jornadas by Augusto de Lacerda opens a lyrical and provocative window onto biblical landscapes, reimagining the figure of Judas with poetic intensity and moral complexity. Set amid the villages and terraces of first-century Palestine—Bethany, the house of Simon the Leper, and the shadow of Jerusalem—the novel unfolds in four dramatic jornadas that blend historical detail, theological reflection, and theatrical lyricism. Augusto de Lacerda, writing at the turn of the 20th century, draws on contemporary Biblical criticism and a rich tradition of Portuguese theatre and verse to craft a narrative that is as much a psychological portrait as a historical re-creation. Themes of faith, conscience, betrayal, and redemption are explored through evocative language, symbolic settings, and intimate scenes that avoid easy answers while inviting deep empathy. The prose reads like staged poetry, suited to listeners who appreciate rhythm, atmosphere, and philosophical depth. A work of literature that bridges novel and drama, Judas Romance lirico em quatro jornadas is ideal for fans of historical and religious retellings, lovers of lyrical fiction, and anyone seeking a contemplative, character-driven audiobook steeped in classical Portuguese sensibility.
