前两章类似人类学的叙述,展现了尼日利亚部落文化和信仰,之后missionary和district commission的进入,不能简单地解读为文化或者信仰的冲突,也不能仅仅说是tradition和西方文明或者现代的冲突。Okonkwo像极了Aristotle的tragic hero,他的死和结尾也是值得仔细再分析解读。集会时,Okonkwo选择刺杀messager是一时兴起,还是深思后的结果。他的自杀是处于对于未来的绝望还是出于保护部族。things fall apart,瓦解的是什么,这种瓦解本身是否有好坏,还是其本身就是一个不可避免地历史进程,即使说没有missionary和殖民势力的进入。如何坚持对于tradition的保持也是值得思考。

评分Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity
评分介于神话与故事之间
评分这书带着历史背景看真的是蛮重要的,但是实在太,无,聊,了!不过之前看了Silence,总会不自觉联系起来。 "If you want to see it well, you must not stand in one place."
Chinua Achebe was a novelist, poet, professor at Brown University and critic. He is best known for his first novel, Things Fall Apart (1958), which is the most widely read book in modern African literature.
Raised by Christian parents in the Igbo town of Ogidi in southeastern Nigeria, Achebe excelled at school and won a scholarship for undergraduate studies. He became fascinated with world religions and traditional African cultures, and began writing stories as a university student. After graduation, he worked for the Nigerian Broadcasting Service and soon moved to the metropolis of Lagos. He gained worldwide attention for Things Fall Apart in the late 1950s; his later novels include No Longer at Ease (1960), Arrow of God (1964), A Man of the People (1966), and Anthills of the Savannah (1987). Achebe writes his novels in English and has defended the use of English, a "language of colonizers", in African literature. In 1975, his lecture An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" became the focus of controversy, for its criticism of Joseph Conrad as "a bloody racist".
When the region of Biafra broke away from Nigeria in 1967, Achebe became a devoted supporter of Biafran independence and served as ambassador for the people of the new nation. The war ravaged the populace, and as starvation and violence took its toll, he appealed to the people of Europe and the Americas for aid. When the Nigerian government retook the region in 1970, he involved himself in political parties but soon resigned due to frustration over the corruption and elitism he witnessed. He lived in the United States for several years in the 1970s, and returned to the U.S. in 1990 after a car accident left him partially disabled.
Achebe's novels focus on the traditions of Igbo society, the effect of Christian influences, and the clash of values during and after the colonial era. His style relied heavily on the Igbo oral tradition, and combines straightforward narration with representations of folk stories, proverbs, and oratory. He also published a number of short stories, children's books, and essay collections. He became the David and Marianna Fisher University Professor and Professor of Africana Studies at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, United States.
Achebe died at age 82 following a brief illness.
More than two million copies of Things Fall Apart have been sold in the United States since it was first published here in 1959. Worldwide, there are eight million copies in print in fifty different languages. This is Chinua Achebe's masterpiece and it is often compared to the great Greek tragedies, and currently sells more than one hundred thousand copies a year in the United States.
A simple story of a "strong man" whose life is dominated by fear and anger, Things Fall Apart is written with remarkable economy and subtle irony. Uniquely and richly African, at the same time it reveals Achebe's keen awareness of the human qualities common to men of all times and places.
[尼日利亚]钦努阿·阿契贝《瓦解》。对于一部伟大的作品,不论张颐武序、王雨来序,还是网友们的评论,都难免失于片面。相比之下,张颐武站在西方文明视角上对非洲传统的指指点点、对阿契贝内心纠结的臆测,甚至与我国“五四”的类比,几乎是不可原谅的。在序的最后,当我们看...

评分 评分一、我们该信仰谁 在白人到来之前,村子里的人们信仰“地母”,这种近乎疯狂与可笑的信仰已经成为人们生存的根基和族群中不可违反的标准。当白人到来之后,一些人的信仰发生了改变,他们开始信上帝,村子也因此而分裂。但不管怎样,村子里的人是不能没有信仰的,信仰是他...
评分用整一个下午看完了《瓦解》,小说虽然篇幅不长,中文译版也就十四万多字,可好作品不在乎部头有多巨大,简练如此的,我完全要把它归为能够涤荡内心,让思维纵深的小说之列。 近现代的非洲大陆是片灾难深重的土地,什么古老文明的发源地,什么人类社会发展简史的展窗…在资本主...
