One can't imagine a student or teacher of English Literature who may not have heard the name of Chinua Achebe. This great African writer has given some of the best classics to the world literature. Class difference, modernity versus ancient, blacks and white, traditional religions versus Christianity, etc. are some of the major themes of his works. With the power of his diction and detailed narration, Achebe's writings immediately touch the hearts of readers. His precise diction is often spellbinding and the way he constructs his simple sentences with the help of local and Standard English words often amuses the readers. Some of his statements, lines, dialogues, and remarks from his works are not very popular quotations. The present book includes hundreds of such enlightening thoughts.
