Things Fall Apart

Okonkwo is the greatest wrestler and warrior alive and his fame spreads across West Africa like a bushfire in the harmattan. Unfortunately, everything falls apart when he accidentally kills a clansman. When Okonkwo returns from exile, he finds missionaries and colonial governors have arrived in his village. With his world thrown radically off-balance he can only hurtle towards tragedy. First published in 1958, Chinua Achebe’s stark, coolly ironic novel is an arresting parable of a proud but powerless man who witnesses the ruin of his people. The novel reshaped African and world literature and has sold over ten million copies in forty-five languages. Things Fall Apart is the first book in Achebe’s landmark trilogy (Arrow of God and No Longer at Ease), chronicling the fate of one African community.
