Chinua Achebe was a Nigerian novelist considered the father of modern African literature. His most famous novel, Things Fall Apart, published in 1958, tells the story of Okonkwo, a man from the Igbo tribe in Nigeria, and his village Umuofia in the late 19th century as they experience the arrival of European missionaries and colonial government. The novel examines the clash between Igbo culture and the emerging colonial culture, highlighting themes of tradition versus change, masculinity, and the importance of language and oral tradition to Igbo culture. The title references a poem about the breakdown of traditions and comes to symbolize the collapse of Umuofia and Igbo culture under foreign influence.
