Chinua Achebe, the doyen of African writing, is the major exponent of modern African novel. Beginning with the advent of the European power, his novels span a series of political crises that beset Nigeria, the collapse of the native power structures in Things Fall Apart, total subjugation of the natives and the establishment of colonial power in Arrow of God, transfer of power to the native elite in No Longer at Ease, fall of the first Republic in A Man of the People and the failure of the military regime in Anthills of the Savannah.
