Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Things Fall Apart (African, #1) (African Writers S., #1) (African Writers) (New Windmills KS4) (Heinemann African Writers Series: Classics) (Translations of Mathematical Monographs)

by Chinua Achebe

First published in 1958, this is the story of a strong man whose life is dominated by fear and anger. It is also a social document, recounting the impact of colonialism and Christianity on the life of an African tribe - the Ibo - in turn-of-the-century Nigeria.

One of the finest embodiments of African literature that I've ever encountered.
Deserving of every single star.
