把兩種文化之間的碰撞描寫得剛剛好,客觀卻富含感情,不過主人公真是不討喜啊⋯⋯
評分so full of magic, so stark, so non judgemental
評分為什麼我感覺這本書實際上美化瞭白人在非洲的殖民行徑?仿佛基督教解決瞭當地人的精神睏惑,解救瞭被本土宗教迫害的人群?
評分前兩章類似人類學的敘述,展現瞭尼日利亞部落文化和信仰,之後missionary和district commission的進入,不能簡單地解讀為文化或者信仰的衝突,也不能僅僅說是tradition和西方文明或者現代的衝突。Okonkwo像極瞭Aristotle的tragic hero,他的死和結尾也是值得仔細再分析解讀。集會時,Okonkwo選擇刺殺messager是一時興起,還是深思後的結果。他的自殺是處於對於未來的絕望還是齣於保護部族。things fall apart,瓦解的是什麼,這種瓦解本身是否有好壞,還是其本身就是一個不可避免地曆史進程,即使說沒有missionary和殖民勢力的進入。如何堅持對於tradition的保持也是值得思考。
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。
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.

評分[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...
