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' 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.

Un classico americano, questo romanzo luminoso e inquietante segue Janie Crawford, una donna nera del sud negli anni '30, mentre si trasforma da ragazza libera e spensierata in una donna di indipendenza e sostanza. Questa storia d'amore poetica, radicata nelle tradizioni popolari nere e intrisa di realismo mitico, celebra audacemente la cultura e l'eredità afroamericana. La narrazione rende omaggio a una donna nera che, nonostante le restrizioni sociali, ha preteso di essere ascoltata. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1937, il libro ha ricevuto un'accoglienza critica mista ed è stato in parte dimenticato dopo la morte di Zora Neale Hurston. Tuttavia, è stato riscoperto da autori neri alla fine degli anni '60 e all'inizio degli anni '70, con il saggio di Alice Walker del 1972 "In Search of Zora Neale Hurston" che ha svolto un ruolo fondamentale nel reintrodurla a un pubblico più ampio. Oggi, è considerato un'opera fondamentale nella narrativa americana.
