   Před více než sto lety žily na jihovýchodě dnešní Nigérie místní kmeny v zajetí kouzel a mýtů, starých zvyků a skromné obživy. Hrdina románu Okonkwo, proslulý vesnický zápasník a válečník jednoho z klanů igboského kmene, tvrdou rukou ovládá domácnost se třemi manželkami a mnoha dětmi. Stejně jako on jsou i příbuzní a sousedé plně podřízeni animistickým božstvům, jejichž vůli smrtelníkům tlumočí věštkyně a kouzelníci. Příkrov odvěkých tradic skrývá četná dramata, jež nově osvětlí příchod bílého misionáře a představitele nastupující koloniální moci. Starý svět se rozpadá.

  Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe's first novel, has received widespread critical acclaim since its first publication thirty years ago. It has sold over 3 million copies and has been translated into more than forty languages. No Longer at Ease, its sequel, won the Nigerian national trophy, while Arrow of God confirmed Achebe's standing as the founder of modern African fiction. These three novels, collected here in a single volume with a new introduction by the author, chronicle the story of twentieth century West Africa.'The Story is the tragedy of Okonkwo, an important man in the Obi tribe in the days when white men were first appearing on the scene. Mr Achebe handles the macabre with telling restraint and the pathetic without any false embarrassment.'THE OBSERVER

  "The trilogy opens with the groundbreaking Things Fall Apart, the tale of Okonkwo, a hero in his village, whose clashes with missionaries -- coupled with his own tragic pride -- lead to his fall from grace. Arrow of God takes up the ongoing conflict between continuity and change as Ezeulu, the headstrong chief priest, finds his authority is under threat from rivals and colonial functionaries. But he believes himself to be untouchable and is determined to lead his people, even if it is towards their own destruction. Finally, in No Longer at Ease, Okonkwo's grandson, educated in England, returns to a civil-service job in Lagos, only to see his morality erode as he clings to his membership in the ruling elite"-- Provided by publisher
