Okonkwo is the greatest wrestler and warrior alive, and his fame spreads throughout West Africa like a bush fire in the harmattan. But when he accidentally kills a clansman, things begin to fall apart. Then Okonkwo returns from exile to find missionaries and colonial governors have arrived in the village. With his world thrown radically off balance he can only hurtle towards tragedy. A classic in every sense, Chinua Achebe’s stark, coolly ironic novel reshaped both African and world literature and remains an arresting parable of a proud but powerless man witnessing the ruin of his people.
