so full of magic, so stark, so non judgemental
評分Grant Hamilton的Major Contemporary Novels的三本閱讀文本之一。1.前麵緩慢的敘述讓我想到遲子建的《額爾古納河右岸》;2.結尾讓我想到瞭三島由紀夫的尷尬;3.Part One 鋪陳1-13章,Part Two住在娘傢14-19章,重迴部落20-25章。為什麼要那麼頭重腳輕的安排情節?
評分讀完忘記標迴來。這書被過譽瞭,文學性不足,敘事過散亂,超現實意味太強,當奇幻文學看稍微好一些。
評分這書帶著曆史背景看真的是蠻重要的,但是實在太,無,聊,瞭!不過之前看瞭Silence,總會不自覺聯係起來。 "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.
2007年6月13日,第二届国际布克文学奖评委会主席、哥伦比亚大学教授Elaine Showalter这样评价他:“In Things Fall Apart and his other fiction set in Nigeria, Chinua Achebe inaugurated the modern African novel. He also illuminated the path for writers around the w...
評分 評分书是朋友所赠,看之前对于作者、背景、情节、奖项没有任何了解和期待,但是看的过程也是津津有味,一口气读到最后,足可见这本书的有趣。简单来说,这本书至少不会令你感到无聊。不仅是非洲部落的异域风情本身独具瑰丽的色彩,土著文明与外来文明的碰撞与冲突更为我们提供了一...
