Book Description
Onea was once a world of peace then the first of the swords was made. The first was made for a great leader who led all the people, the other forged later to defeat the tyrant the first leader became. Generations passed and the swords of Mar were thought of as myth, a myth that followed the last of the great leaders, Mar, into history. Stories died and stories followed, but many believed that the blades had a destiny of their own and it was said they would return. Mar would return with his swords and would unite Onea once more, but who would be Mar? Others would choose to be Mar, with the swords they could control all of Onea, but none would believe the swords would fall to a young one who has yet to reach the age of the sword. Why would the swords choose youth? Why Arilius?

Things Fall Apart
Author: Chinua Achebe
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0385474547
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
“A true classic of world literature . . . A masterpiece that has inspired generations of writers in Nigeria, across Africa, and around the world.” —Barack Obama “African literature is incomplete and unthinkable without the works of Chinua Achebe.” —Toni Morrison Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Things Fall Apart is the first of three novels in Chinua Achebe's critically acclaimed African Trilogy. It is a classic narrative about Africa's cataclysmic encounter with Europe as it establishes a colonial presence on the continent. Told through the fictional experiences of Okonkwo, a wealthy and fearless Igbo warrior of Umuofia in the late 1800s, Things Fall Apart explores one man's futile resistance to the devaluing of his Igbo traditions by British political andreligious forces and his despair as his community capitulates to the powerful new order. With more than 20 million copies sold and translated into fifty-seven languages, Things Fall Apart provides one of the most illuminating and permanent monuments to African experience. Achebe does not only capture life in a pre-colonial African village, he conveys the tragedy of the loss of that world while broadening our understanding of our contemporary realities.
