Moses, Man of the Mountain

De: Zora Neale Hurston

Narrado por: Blair Underwood, Robin Miles

“A narrative of great power. Warm with friendly personality and pulsating with . . . profound eloquence and religious fervor.” —New York Times

In this 1939 novel based on the familiar story of the Exodus, Zora Neale Hurston blends the Moses of the Old Testament with the Moses of black folklore and song to create a compelling allegory of power, redemption, and faith. Narrated in a mixture of biblical rhetoric, black dialect, and colloquial English, Hurston traces Moses's life from the day he is launched into the Nile river in a reed basket, to his development as a great magician, to his transformation into the heroic rebel leader, the Great Emancipator. From his dramatic confrontations with Pharaoh to his fragile negotiations with the wary Hebrews, this very human story is told with great humor, passion, and psychological insight—the hallmarks of Hurston as a writer and champion of black culture.

Amazing

I love her, take in her views, along with the merge of Harriet Tubman’s Moses and Moses from the pyramids

Must Listen, Blair Underwood is phenomenal!!!

I’ve listened to this audio a few times. I’ve waited for this audio or any audio for this book to be available for so long and this did justice by one of my favorite books of all time. Audible should do more to publicize this. Blair did a phenomenal job. His range is unmatched. Thank you thank you Blair for your talent and work. Zora had so much to say with this book if people would only read/listen.
