书籍与作者：

Zora Neale Hurston (January 7, 1891 – January 28, 1960) was an American author, anthropologist, and filmmaker. Her works, which portray racial struggles in the early-1900s American South--and particularly the struggles of African-American women--have become classics of American literature and have influenced such literary giants as Alice Walker and Toni Morrison.  Hurston’s most popular novel is Their Eyes Were Watching God (published in 1937).
