Their Eyes Were Watching God

Title: Their Eyes Were Watching God Author: Zora Neale Hurston ISBN: 9780060838676 Publisher: Harper Perennial Published: 2006 Binding: Paperback Language: English Edition: Reissue Number of Pages: 219 Condition Note: New from the publisher Publisher Description: "A deeply soulful novel that comprehends love and cruelty, and separates the big people from the small of heart, without ever losing sympathy for those unfortunates who don't know how to live properly."--Zadie Smith One of the most important and enduring books of the twentieth century, Their Eyes Were Watching God brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years--due largely to initial audiences' rejection of its strong black female protagonist--Hurston's classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature.
