This large volume is a collection of some of the best writing by one of America's most distinguished novelists. Included in this book are Freedom Road, one of his most famous novels and long out of print; two short novels, The Children, one of Howard Fast's first published works, considered by many critics to be one of his best pieces of writing, and The Golden River, a hitherto unpublished short novel concerning the death of Moses and the emergence of Joshua as the new leader of the Jewish people. from the dust jacket of the 1960 Crown first edition Contents |
