Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart is the most popular African novel written in English. Regarded as a modern classic, it has captivated the imagination of the readers all over the world. The novel delineates the encounter between traditional culture of Africa and the British culture, ushered in by the historical force of colonialism. In essence, Things Fall Apart is a tragedy told in the epic manner. But like any great literature, the novel is open to many interpretations. The present book offers a critical analysis of the text and discusses important issues dealt by the author. The book, it is hoped, will be immensely useful to scholars and students alike.
