Description

Among the most significant works of twentieth century American literature, Zora Neale Hurstonis precious 1937 vintage, Their Eyes Were Watching God, is definitely an enduring Southern love tale sparkling with humor, elegance, and sincere knowledge. Informed in the charming voice of a lady who will not reside in sorrow, anger, fear, or silly intimate desires, it's the tale of fair skinned, very independent Janie Crawford, and her evolving selfhood through three marriages and a lifestyle marked by poverty, tests, and objective. A genuine literary question, Hurstonis masterwork remains as relevant and impacting today as when it had been first revealed -- probably the most widely-read and respected book in the whole canon of Africanamerican literature.
