Synopsis
Hurston's most highly acclaimed novel returns in a beautiful new edition, in time to celebrate Black History Month., "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., Fair and long-legged, independent and articulate, Janie Crawford sets out to be her own person -- no mean feat for a black woman in the '30s. Janie's quest for identity takes her through three marriages and into a journey back to her roots., A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick "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.

    Absolutely thrilled with my purchase. The item came fast, was packaged well and the price was reasonable considering another item identical was ten times more. Would purchase from the seller again.

    A good read

    It is possible that editors are mostly allowing books that are written by African Americans that focus on our demise, deep southern accents or on our suppression. I would imagine that many African American writers want their more modern books to be published that show us in a prosperous light but that might not be what publishers want to publish on us. Upon reading the first few chapters of this book the deep southern accents are like a new language to learn, but soon that new dialect becomes part your understanding and the words flow as though you lived in the south all of your life. I am not finished reading this book yet but the first half of this book will keep wondering what is going to happen next. The star of this book gets herself in dependent situations that are not that uncommon ...

  • Great Classic

    I did not think this book should have been given a "good" rating as it was quite worn and not especially clean. The book's content is wonderful. I purchased it to reread and pass it on to another person.

  • Probably a classic

    It’s a good book but hard to follow so have to reread some pages.
