176 pages. A Reader's Guide to one of the best known African novels, Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. Provides a comprehensive starting point for any advanced student, giving an overview of the context, criticism and influence of key works. Also offers students fresh critical insights and provides a practical introduction to close reading and to analysing literary language and form. Provides an up-to-date, authoritative but accessible guide. Chinua Achebe's remarkable novel Things Fall Apart (1958) is probably the best known African novel and has become one of the world's most influential literary masterpieces. Since publication, a total of nearly 12 million copies have been sold, with translations into more than 50 languages. Despite its undoubted success, its apparent simplicity has tended to blind readers to the dazzling storytelling resources and the inventive language, plot, setting, and characterization which first draw them to the novel and keep them reading.

His publications include Achebe and the Politics of Representation and numerous essays on modern African fiction. Softcover. Brand new book.

Vincent Atabavikpo: Sprichwörter im Volksmund und in der Literatur Eine Studie über Sprichwörter in Saxwe-Sprichwortliedern, im Roman von Chinua Achebe und in den Dramen Furcht und Elend des Dritten Reiches, Things fall Apart und Die Gewehre der Frau Carrar von Bertolt Brecht, Lang, Peter Frankfurt,Jul 2003 ISBN: 3631513372
Nach einem Abriß über die Geschichte und die Sprache der Saxwe-Ethnie nimmt der Autor die Sprichwörter der Saxwe im südlichen Benin, die der Ibo in Südost-Nigeria in "Things fall apart" Achebes und die in Dramen Brechts unter die Lupe. Der Autor erhebt ein Korpus von Sprichwortliedern der Saxwe-Ethnie, die von Spezialisten einzelner Gruppen gegen Rivalen in anderen Gruppen gesungen werden und mit Hilfe von Sprichwörtern Schwächen der gegnerischen Gruppe bloßstellen und auf magische Weise Schadenszauber abhalten sollen. Die das Korpus ausmachenden Sprichwörter werden genauso wie die Lieder transkribiert und ins Deutsche übersetzt, ehe jedes davon einzeln erfaßt und ausgewertet wird. Die Auswertung kommentiert die Genese und die Funktion des Sprichworts im angegebenen Text sowie unter dem Lemma "Biologie", d.h. die konkrete Bedeutung, die das Sprichwort im Text und im kommunikativen Kontext annimmt.
