Book
Moses
by Howard Fast
This definitive new edition of Howard Fast's riveting novel protrays the early years of the man who would lead his people out of slavery to freedom. In MOSES, the author uses his widely acclaimed story-telling skills to paint a protrait of the most fascinating figure of the Bible. The child Moses grows to adulthood in the royal household of Ramses II, surrounded by the political factions, sensing, but not fully understanding the paradox of his singular position. Through the strikingly contrasting events of Moses' epic life, Howard Fast traces the growth of his character as a biblical hero. He takes us into the white house above the first cataract as Moses experiences his first love; watches as Moses endures the savage Egyptian campaigns against the black men of the Kush; and recalls the young man's rebellion against the Egyptian priesthood. Renouncing his royal trappings, Moses casts his lot with his own people, the Jews, and becomes for all time, an inspiration to the world.
