    Extractions: Africa at the turn of the century provides the setting for this novel which pits traditional African society against the changes wrought by the colonialism of the British. Okonkwo struggles to understand what it means to be a man in his Ibo village, unable to adjust to the new ways of the foreigners. Chinua Achebe was born in Nigeria in 1930 and raised in the village of Ogidi. He was exposed to the missionary work of the Anglicans at an early age, as Ogidi was one of the first missionary centers established in Eastern Nigeria. His early career in radio broadcasting ended abruptly in 1966 with the start of the Biafran War. He began lecturing abroad and taught as a Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst for 4 years. From 1987-1988 Achebe taught at the University of Connecticut, Storrs. He is the author of numerous adult and juvenile books as well as books of poetry and short stories. He currently lives in Nigeria. Things Fall Apart was Achebe's first novel. Published in 1958, it is the story of Okonkwo, a respected Ibo clansman. Set at the turn of the century, Okonkwo struggles with what it means to be a man in his Ibo culture. As British colonialism and Christianity encroach on his village, Okonkwo is unable to adjust to the ways of the foreigners and finds himself pitted against some of his own friends and villagers. Over eight million copies of Things Fall Apart have been published worldwide. It has been translated into fifty languages and was adapted for the stage in Lagos, Nigeria, and for television in 1985 by the Nigerian Television Authority. In 1959, he was awarded the Margaret Wrong Memorial Prize for

Nur Erzählungen retten unsere Nachkommen davor, wie blinde Bettler in die Dornen eines Stacheldrahtzaunes zu stolpern. Erzählungen führen uns; ohne sie sind wir blind." »Obwohl das Werk der Wiedergutmachung, das getan werden muß, vielleicht beängstigend anmutet, glaube ich, daß keinen Tag zu früh damit begonnen werden kann. Conrad sah und verurteilte das Übel imperialer Ausbeutung, war aber seltsam blind für den Rassismus, an dem es seine eisernen Zähne schärfte. Aber die Opfer rassistischer Verleumdung, die jahrhundertelang mit der Unmenschlichkeit zu leben hatten, deren Erben sie sind, haben es die ganze Zeit besser gewußt als jeder zufällige Besucher, auch wenn er so hochbegabt daherkommt wie ein Conrad.«

    An exhibit of maps and travel narratives from Leo Africanus to chinua achebe.

    Extractions: hypertext by Jason A. Pierce Wilhelm Blaeu's 1617 map of Africa This exhibit puts on display one of the hidden resources of Thomas Cooper Library's Special Collections, a selection from the many books of travel and exploration purchased for the original South Carolina College Library in the early and middle nineteenth century. The exhibition illustrates most of the major phases in the European exploration of Africa, from the late fifteenth century to the late nineteenth century. The exhibition begins with a series of very beautiful Renaissance maps, showing the tracing of the African coastline in the late fifteenth century, by Portuguese seamen, and with the widely-translated early account of West Africa by the Arab scholar Leo Africanus. Included here are the magnificent facsimile of a fifteenth-century manuscript Ptolemy, purchased in 1983 from the John Shaw Billings Endowment, and Wilhelm Blaeu's famous map of Africa (1617). Also from the Renaissance is another Dutch engraver Theodor de Bry's 1598 map from his famous Voyages, kindly loaned for this exhibit by James P. Barrow, '62. But the heart of the exhibit lies with the many early editions of the great names in the European exploration of the African interior—James Bruce, Mungo Park, Burckhardt, Clapperton, Laing, Caillie, Lander, and others. With many different motivations—adventure, fame, scientific curiosity, the hope of new wealth or trading opportunities, missionary ardor and anti-slavery zeal—the European explorers of Africa during the eighteenth and nineteenth century nonetheless form an extraordinary succession of individual bravery and visionary commitment. Many of the books and maps in which they recorded their quest remain both essential historical sources for African history and very beautiful examples of contemporary book production and engraving. Some items, alas, after long years originally on the open shelves of a college library, have been damaged or inappropriately repaired and now need professional conservation, but many are, at least internally, still pristine.

    Extractions: Part I , Chs. 1-13 (pp. 3-88) Achebe takes the title for his novel from a line in a classic Western modernist poem "The Second Coming" (wr. 1919; pub. 1921), by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939; Irish). Paul Brians explains the background of Yeats’ poem: "Yeats was attracted to the spiritual and occult world and fashioned for himself an elaborate mythology to explain human experience. "The Second Coming," written after the catastrophe of World War I and with communism and fascism rising, is a compelling glimpse of an inhuman world about to be born. Yeats believed that history in part moved in two thousand-year cycles. The Christian era, which followed that of the ancient world, was about to give way to an ominous period represented by the rough, pitiless beast in the poem." Read "The Second Coming" (below) and consider why Achebe chose to take the title of his novel from Yeats’ poem. ). Consider how Achebe’s literary

    http://www.scholars.nus.edu.sg/landow/post/achebe/achebebio.html
    
    Extractions: [based upon Contemporary Authors Albert Chinualumogu Achebe was born the son of Isaiah Okafo, a Christian churchman, and Janet N. Achebe November 16, 1930 in Ogidi, Nigeria. He married Christie Chinwe Okoli, September 10, 1961, and now has four children: Chinelo, Ikechukwu, Chidi, and Nwando. He attended Government College in Umuahia from 1944 to 1947 and University College in Ibadan from 1948 to 1953. He then received a B.A. from London University in 1953 and studied broadcasting at the British Broadcasting Corp. in London in 1956. Since the 1950's, Nigeria has witnessed "the flourishing of a new literature which has drawn sustanence from both traditional oral literature and from the present and rapidly changing society," writes Margaret Laurence in her book Long Drums and Cannons: Nigerian Dramatists and Novelists. Thirty years ago Chinua Achebe was one of the founders of this new literature, and over the years many critics have come to consider him the finest of the Nigerian novelists. His acheivement, however, has not been limited to his continent. He is considered by many to be one of the best novelists now writing in the English language. Unlike some African writers struggling for acceptance among contemporary English-language novelists, Achebe has been able to avoid imitating the trends in English literature. Rejecting the European notion "that art should be accountable to no one, and [needs] to justify itself to nobody," as he puts it in his book of essays, Morning Yet on Creation Day, Achebe has embraced instead the idea at the heart of the African oral tradition: that "art is, and always was, at the service of man. Our ancestors created their myths and told their stories for a human purpose." For this reason, Achebe beleives that "any good story, any good novel, should have a message, should have a purpose."
