Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The most widely read book in modern African literature, presented here in stunning hardcover, tells two overlapping, intertwining stories, both of which center around a fearless Igbo warrior in Nigeria in the late 1800s, before and after the European colonization of the continent.African literature is incomplete and unthinkable without the works of Chinua Achebe. Toni MorrisonNominated as one of Americas bestloved novels by PBSs The Great American Read.The first of these stories traces Okonkwo's fall from grace with the tribal world in which he lives, and in its classical purity of line and economical beauty it provides us with a powerful fable about the immemorial conflict between the individual and society. The second story, which is as modern as the first is ancient, and which elevates the book to a tragic plane, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo's world through the arrival of aggressive, proselytizing European missionaries. These twin dramas are perfectly harmonized, and they are modulated by an awareness capable of encompassing at once the life of nature, human history, and the mysterious compulsions of the soul. THINGS FALL APART is the most illuminating and permanent monument we have to the modern African experience as seen from within.Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acidfree creamcolored paper, with fullcloth cases with twocolor foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, Europeanstyle halfround spines, and a fullcolor illustrated jacket. Everymans Library Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
