Chinua Achebe

Posted on 14:14 by Unknown



Chinua Achebe

no copyright infringement intended


A great Nigerian novelist and poet, whose style relies heavily on the oral traditions of his tribe, combining straightforward narration with folk stories and proverbs (wiki). I would like to put here some of his poems. His first novel, Things Fall Apart (1958) is considered his magnum opus. Chinua Achebe died
