Things Fall Apart

Things Fall Apart

by Chinua Achebe

  • LITERATURE
  • 2008
  • PAPER
  • 209 PAGES

This is a fascinating and tragic portrait of an Igbo man confronting his inner turmoil, juxtaposed with the introduction of colonialism which leads to a rapid social disintegration amongst the tribe. This 1958 classic is especially commendable for its rich and balanced portrayal of pre-colonial tribal life -- a depiction which is anything but idealistic.  (WAF56, $11.95)
