Now, Zora Neale Hurston is recognized as one of the most important and influential modern American writers. This volume, with its companion, "Zora Neale Hurston: Folklore, Memoirs, and Other Writings," brings together for the first time all of Hurston's best works in one authoritative set. It features the acclaimed 1937 novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God," a lyrical masterpiece about a woman's struggle for love and independence. "Jonah's Gourd Vine," based on the story of Hurston's parents, details the rise and fall of a preacher torn between spirit and flesh. "Moses, Man of the Mountain" is a high-spirited retelling of the Exodus story in black vernacular. "Seraph on the Suwanee" portrays the passionate clash between a poor southern "cracker" and her willful husband. A selection of short stories further displays Hurston's unique fusion of folk traditions and literary modernism--comic, ironic, and soaringly poetic. 27642 1 2 1995 Zora Neale Hurston : Novels and Stories : Jonah's Gourd Vine / Their Eyes Were Watching God / Moses, Man of the Mountain / Seraph on the Suwanee / Selected Stories (Library of America) total:140|5:66|4:48|3:19|2:5|1:2| 140 591 216 15 4 0 false false Mon Mar 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 15 21:35:06 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 21:40:06 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu May 17 23:23:25 -0700 2007 Thu May 17 23:29:18 -0700 2007 Their Eyes Were Wat...more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 01:59:46 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 02:01:49 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 13 09:14:53 -0700 2008 Tue May 13 09:24:53 -0700 2008
