Evagrius of Pontus: The Gnostic Trilogy

Description

“The Quest of the Silver Fleece” by W.E.B. Du Bois is a novel that delves into the intersection of race, politics, and economics in the post-Reconstruction South. The story follows two African American youths as they struggle against systemic oppression while seeking personal and collective empowerment. Du Bois blends realism with myth, using cotton (the “Silver Fleece”) as a symbol for the social and economic challenges of the era. Through this narrative, he explores themes of love, ambition, and racial inequality.
