About Chinua Achebe
About Things Fall Apart
Things Fall Apart is the most-read African novel of all time, with over 20 million copies sold in 50+ languages. First published in 1958, it tells the story of Okonkwo, a respected wrestler and warrior in the Igbo village of Umuofia in late 19th-century Nigeria — and his tragic struggle as British colonial powers and Christian missionaries arrive and dismantle his world. Achebe wrote the novel in response to Joseph Conrad's racist depictions of Africa in Heart of Darkness, deliberately presenting Igbo society in its full complexity, dignity, and contradiction. The novel's title comes from W.B. Yeats's poem 'The Second Coming'. Required reading on most African literature syllabi worldwide.
