In this 1939 novel based on the familiar story of the Exodus,
Zora Neale Hurston blends the Moses of the Old Testament with the
Moses of black folklore and song to create a compelling allegory of
power, redemption, and faith. Narrated in a mixture of biblical
rhetoric, black dialect, and colloquial English, Hurston traces
Moses's life from the day he is launched into the Nile river in a
reed basket, to his development as a great magician, to his
transformation into the heroic rebel leader, the Great Emancipator.
From his dramatic confrontations with Pharaoh to his fragile
negotiations with the wary Hebrews, this very human story is told
with great humor, passion, and psychological insight--the hallmarks
of Hurston as a writer and champion of black culture.
