Beschreibung

A story of love and community, written by the hand of Zora Neale Hurston, one of the 20th centurys greatest authors, and a woman who truly understands her characters motivations. This modern classic edition of Jonah's Gourd Vine features an updated cover and a P.S. section which includes insights, interviews, and more.Jonah's Gourd Vine, Zora Neale Hurstons first novel, originally published in 1934, tells the story of John Buddy Pearson, a living exultation of a young man who loves too many women for his own good. Lucy, his long-suffering wife, is his true love, but theres also Mehaly and Big Oman and the scheming Hattie who conjures hoodoo spells to ensure his attentions. Even after becoming the popular pastor of Zion Hope where his sermons and prayers for cleansing rouse the congregations fervor, he has to confess that though he is a preacher on Sundays, he is a natchel man the rest of the week.And so in this sympathetic portrait of a man and his community, shows that faith and tolerance and good intentions cannot resolve the tension between the spiritual and the physical. That Zora Neale Hurston makes this age-old dilemma come so alive is a tribute to her understanding of the vagaries of human nature.
