CHINUA ACHEBE: THINGS FALL APART

Description

A compelling story of one man’s battle to protect his community against the forces of change, the Penguin Classics edition of Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart is introduced by Biyi Bandele. Okonkwo is the greatest wrestler and warrior alive, and his fame spreads throughout West Africa like a bush-fire. But when he accidentally kills a clansman, things begin to fall apart. Then Okonkwo returns from exile to find missionaries and colonial governors have arrived in the village. With his world thrown radically off-balance, he can only hurtle towards tragedy.
