Things Fall Apart
by Chinua Achebe
1969 Edition, Fawcett Crest
Achebe's first and most famous novel, a classic of modern African writing.
It is the story of a "strong" man whose life is dominated by "fear and anger, a powerful and moving narrative that critics have compared with classic Greek tragedy.
Achebe has a keen awareness of the human qualities common to men of all times and places.
A successful social document dramatizing traditional Ibo life in its first encounter with colonialism and Christianity at the turn of the century.
Set in an Ibo village, the novel vividly recreates pre-Christian tribal life and shows how the coming of the white man led to the breaking up of the old ways.
