Descripción
A true classic of world literature . . . A masterpiece that has inspired generations of writers in Nigeria, across Africa, and around the world. Barack Obama African literature is incomplete and unthinkable without the works of Chinua Achebe. Toni Morrison A magical writerone of the greates of the twentieth century. Margaret Atwood Named one of Americas most-loved novels by PBSs The Great American Read Things Fall Apart is the first of three novels in Chinua Achebes critically acclaimed African Trilogy. It is a classic narrative about Africas cataclysmic encounter with Europe as it establishes a colonial presence on the continent. Told through the fictional experiences of Okonkwo, a wealthy and fearless Igbo warrior of Umuofia in the late 1800s, Things Fall Apart explores one mans futile resistance to the devaluing of his Igbo traditions by British political andreligious forces and his despair as his community capitulates to the powerful new order. With more than twenty million copies sold and translated into fifty-seven languages, Things Fall Apart provides one of the most illuminating and permanent monuments to African experience. Achebe does not only capture life in a pre-colonial African village, he conveys the tragedy of the loss of that world while broadening our understanding of our contemporary realities.
