<p><b>From the Back Cover</b><br><p>With a Foreword by Edwidge Danticat and an Afterword by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.</p><p>One of the most important works of twentieth-century American literature, Zora Neale Hurston's beloved 1937 classic, <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em>, is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit, beauty, and heartfelt wisdom. Told in the captivating voice of a woman who refuses to live in sorrow, bitterness, fear, or foolish romantic dreams, it is the story of fair-skinned, fiercely independent Janie Crawford, and her evolving selfhood through three marriages and a life marked by poverty, trials, and purpose. A true literary wonder, Hurston's masterwork remains as relevant and affecting today as when it was first published--perhaps the most widely read and highly regarded novel in the entire canon of African American literature.</p></p>
