Usually we get to read world literature which is translated to English. In the process of translation the true essence of what the writer wants to say may be lost.

I had not come across many books written by African writers about Africa. Was happy that I found this book. Its a very good book written in a very simple mann...

The book is written in deceptively simple english. Written in great african story telling style. But the way this story enlarge our mind space!! It is great!
I consider this book in league of great novels written by the likes of Kawabata. Huan rulfo,Vaikom muhammed basheer,Hemingway etc.

I just loved it.

I was looking for some other book at a book shop, but didn't find it. I had never read any African literature before.

one of the most powerful work of literature that provides the critique of the colonial rule. Achebe presents the untold glory of the Igbo community in its raw form..

the book is simply amazing to read. this is my first time actually reading a foreign literature work. after reading few pages of the book i liked it very much. good work done by auther Chinua Achebe.. superlike.. !!

This is one amazing book! Everyone who loves quality drama, would love this book. It literally created a tribal ambiance. Every time I read this book, I was carried away to a distant land. I felt as if I was in some African tribal village.

Good
