Anthills of the Savannah – Chinua Achebe
In the fictional West African nation of Kangan, newly independent of British rule, the hopes and dreams of democracy have been quashed by a fierce military dictatorship. Chris Oriko is a member of the president’s cabinet for life, and one of the leader’s oldest friends. When the president is charged with censoring the opportunistic editor of the state-run newspaper–another childhood friend–Chris’s loyalty and ideology are put to the test. The fate of Kangan hangs in the balance as tensions rise and a devious plot is set in motion to silence a firebrand critic.

Things Fall Apart – Chinua Achebe
Things Fall Apart tells two intertwining stories, both centering on Okonkwo, a “strong man” of an Ibo village in Nigeria. The first, a powerful fable of the immemorial conflict between the individual and society, traces Okonkwo’s fall from grace with the tribal world. The second, as modern as the first is ancient, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo’s world with the arrival of aggressive European missionaries. These perfectly harmonized twin dramas are informed by an awareness capable of encompassing at once the life of nature, human history, and the mysterious compulsions of the soul.

Books, Nigerian novelsIn perspective of the journey of man: The new Nigeria and the boy – Jovita Efehi Obadolagbonyi (Softcopy)
The collection seeks to portray themes interwoven in each poem, that bear particular significance to the human experience.
Its focus on man’s relations with his fellow-men, nature and his relation with himself runs over the collection in multiple dimensions and it intends to take a less radical stand on these subjects but attempts to reveal them in a perspective of multiple fiction subjects employed in some of the poems.
The tenor of the collection appreciates man and revolves around the facets of his encounters and how his presence has affected much of what is around him.
Altogether, the collection seeks to take a deeper view on most of the subjects discussed and to do so with reference to the hearts, bodies, minds and souls of men with which they influence everything around them and are influenced likewise by the world around them. It carries a refined delicate undertone throughout to paint such pictures as to evoke genuine understanding of the messages being communicated.SKU: n/a
