About this book

Zora Neale Hurston's beloved classic--a PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick--available in a special deluxe edition featuring gold sprayed edges, foil, embossed lettering, and a custom foil stamp on the cover. "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. . . . Hurston believed in the transformative power of storytelling, and she took risks with sentiment that few contemporary writers are prepared to make."--Zadie Smith Originally published in 1937, Their Eyes Were Watching God has become one of the most important and enduring works of modern American literature. Written with Zora Neale Hurston's singular wit and pathos, this Southern love story recounts Janie Crawford's "ripening from a vibrant, but voiceless, teenage girl into a woman with her finger on the trigger of her own destiny." A tale of awakening and independence featuring a strong female protagonist driven to fulfill her passions and ambitions, Their Eyes Were Watching God is a masterpiece of the Harlem Renaissance and perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the American literary canon.
