Moon of Israel (1918) was one of the earliest Haggard books to be
filmed (in 1924, as a silent movie directed by Michael Curtiz). The
movie adaptation has been released both as Moon of Israel and The
Slave Queen. Interestingly, Paramount bought the original film and
suppressed it so it wouldn't complete with the release of DeMille's
original silent version of The Ten Commandments. As a book, it is
an exceptional retelling of the Biblical story of the Exodus. I?m
certain most modern readers will be familiar with the original
story. By selecting an unlikely viewpoint character?the scribe
Ana?Haggard provides a down-to-earth narrator for a story of
fantastic proportion. The novel was first serialized in The
Cornhill Magazine from January through October in 1918 and released
in book for in October 1918. Author and critic Jessica Amanda
Salmonson has called Moon of Israel ?a beautifully written Jewish
legend, ? and adds, ?Haggard was pro-Zionist advocating a Jewish
homeland in Palestine as early as 1915.
