Review of 'Things fall apart--Chinua Achebe' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Things Fall Apart is a novel by Chinua Achebe, an Nigerian author whose fame is mostly from this book.
In Things Fall Apart, the Nigerian culture is described, and the reader will get to know the country, its origin, its history, and ultimately its culture. The impact of the British on Nigeria is also briefly described.
I think the book is rather interesting, as it really gives me a look into the Nigerian culture. Another remarkable thing are the idioms that Achebe has directly translated from Nigerian to English, and Achebe has changed some grammatical tenses and conjunctions to match the Nigerian language.
