About this audiobook
The Quest of the Silver Fleece is a novel by W. E. B. Du Bois, published in 1911. It tells the story of two African American siblings, Zora and Bles, living in rural Alabama in the early 1900s. Bles is a talented and educated musician who dreams of creating a successful symphony based on the folk music of the South. Zora, meanwhile, is a strong-willed and independent woman who wants to fight against the oppression and injustice that she sees all around her. When a wealthy white Northern businessman named Roger tries to buy Bles' music and marry Zora, the siblings are forced to confront their own desires and values. Along the way, they encounter a variety of characters who represent different aspects of the African American experience, from a charismatic and radical preacher to a group of sharecroppers struggling to make ends meet. "The Quest of the Silver Fleece" is a powerful exploration of race, class, and identity in America and a passionate call to action for all those who believe in social justice and equality.
