About Things Fall Apart
Things Fall Apart tells the story of the celebrated wrestler Okonkwo, who has spent his entire life struggling to distance himself from his idle, irresponsible father and earn the respect of his community. However, a series of unfortunate accidents and events beyond his control damage his status within his village, and the arrival of white missionaries threatens to destroy his traditional way of life and everything he holds dear.
Since it was first published in 1958, Things Fall Apart has sold over eight million copies and been translated into over 50 languages, making Achebe the most-translated African author of all time. After an initially mixed reception in his native Nigeria, it was later lauded by his compatriot and Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka as the first English-language novel to describe Africa from a truly African perspective.
About Chinua Achebe
Chinua Achebe is widely considered to be the father of African literature, thanks to both his own writing, which challenged Eurocentric narratives of the continent, and to his championing of other African writers. Indeed, he was highly critical of earlier writers such as Joseph Conrad and worked hard to combat entrenched cultural ignorance and misconceptions about his continent. During his lifetime, he received over 30 honorary doctorates and countless prestigious literary awards, and he is now considered to be one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.This practical and insightful reading guide offers a complete summary and analysis of Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.
