The African Trilogy

Chinua Achebe is considered by many to be the father of African literature in English, and here is Achebe’™s first and most famous novel, `Things Fall Apart` alongside `No Longer at Ease` and `Arrow of God`, under the collective title `The African Trilogy`.In `Things Fall Apart` the individual tragedy of Okonkwo, ‘˜strong man’™ and tribal elder in the Nigeria of the 1890s is intertwined with the transformation of traditional Igbo society under the impact of Christianity and colonialism. In `No Longer at Ease`, Okonkwo’™s grandson, Obi, educated in England, returns to a civil-service job in colonial Lagos, only to clash with the ruling elite to which he now believes he belongs. `Arrow of God` is set in the 1920s and explores the conflict from the two points of view – often, but not always, opposing ‘“ of Ezuelu, an Igbo priest, and Captain Winterbottom, a British district officer. In spare and lucid prose, Achebe tells a universal tale of personal and moral struggle in a changing world which continues to resonate in Africa today and has captured the imaginations of readers everywhere.
