It • « « ■ « 111-_ M.Uk by J. Ldmineott, Philadelphia »1 pages. I Reviewed by HAZEL L. ORIGGS Because of the old story of persecution and inhumane treat ment of the Hebrews is reaaaert ing itself today as it has through all tbe ages, the story of their plight in Phyraoh’a time as told by ZOra Neale Huston in “Moaea, Man of the Mountein,” ' ia a poignant and a timely tretaiae. The book is unique in that the story 'of the people of Goahen ia told from the point of view of a member of another oppressed people, t^e Negro race, and sketohea in the Negro’s homely philosopWi using his colloqua- lisms to tell much of the story. The influence of Miss Hurs ton’s Haitian books is felt here also when Mose^ emerges as a Voodoo Man wflng many of the ancient Haitian methods to deal with the problems of his people. The race question is the under lying theme of the book, having been t^e dominant issue of the time, a»d problems Moses encouters trying to help his op pressed people are strikingly similar to current situations faced by today's leaders. In to^a background of hatred familiar experience with Phar- roach’s daughter, grew through |k’ childhood of indulgence into capable youth and a wise adult and finally a leader of hia own people. Misa Hurston makea of the child, Moses, a very real sm^ll boy, questioning his eld ers and learning from their atore of experience. Hts character* growa and his wisdom incredlset until he is the strong, powerful peraonality gf biblical lore. Mias Hurston’s Moses is an Engrossing character throughout the book. Brought down to earth and everyday thinking, he really lives for the reader. The style and the techniqiue of the book are distinctly Hura- ton poetic weaving ahot through with sparkling Negro witticisms and tbe strong fabric of the Negro’s philosophy. As in form er books, the author writes with simplicity, ?larity and beauty. Every chapter offers a bit of wisdom—age old wisdom born of suffering. The picture set forth by the book of Moles is a picture of struggle and achievement that will not fade—will hold its place in the literary realm of histor ical, religious novels.
