Description:Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1939. A near-fine copy bound in brown...Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1939. A near-fine copy bound in brown cloth with orange spine lettering and a stylized representation on the front panel of Moses holding the ten commandments. The book is clean and square but there is a slight hint of dampness along the bottom. The dustwrapper is very good with light wear at the extremities and a few small chips. The story stems from the familiar tale in the Exodus. Here Miss Hurston blends the Old Testament Moses with the person rooted in black folklore and song to present a powerful and attractive allegory of power, redemption, and faith. Narrated in a mix of biblical rhetoric, black dialect, and colloquial English, she has created a highly popular and well-read narrative. Hurston was one of the leaders of the Harlem Renaissance. : Home.
