Death and the King's Horseman is widely considered Wole Soyinka's masterpiece — a tragedy based on real events in colonial Nigeria during World War II. When the Yoruba king dies in the city of Oyo, his trusted horseman Elesin Oba is required by Yoruba ritual to commit ceremonial suicide so the king's spirit can journey safely to the afterlife. But the British District Officer Pilkings intervenes to stop what he sees as a barbaric practice — with catastrophic spiritual and human consequences. Soyinka's lyrical, dense prose captures both the cosmic stakes of Yoruba metaphysics and the colonial misunderstanding that destroys lives. A required text on theatre and African literature courses worldwide.
