The Life of Herod the Great
'Full of adventure, glamour, and historical figures, including Herod's close friends Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, this is a fascinating addition to the Hurston canon.' — Booklist (starred review)
About
A never before published novel from beloved author Zora Neale Hurston, revealing the historical Herod the Great—not the villain the Bible makes him out to be but a religious and philosophical man who lived a life of valor and vision.
'The Life of Herod the Great—like Hurston herself—is a masterpiece, a miracle, and a marvel. In other words, treasure for the whole world.' — Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage, Silver Sparrow, and Leaving Atlanta
