Moses, man of the mountain

Book • 1939
In 'Moses, Man of the Mountain', Zora Neale Hurston reimagines the biblical story of Moses, incorporating elements of African folklore and voodoo.

The novel explores themes of leadership, power, and the psychological impact of enslavement as Moses leads the Hebrews out of Egypt.

Hurston's portrayal reflects a blend of cultural heritage and social critique relevant to the African-American experience.
