Sammanfattning: "Okonkwo isthe greatest wrestler and warrior alive, and his fame spreads throughout West Africa like a bush-fire in the harmattan. But when he accidentally kills a clansman, things begin to fall apart. Then Okonkwo returns from exile to find missionaries and colonial governors have arrived in the village. With his world thrown radically off-balance he can only huttle towards tragedy. A classic in every sense, Chinua Achebe's stark, cooly ironic novel reshaped both African and world literature. First published in 1958, it has sold over ten million copies in forty-five languages, and remains an arresting parable of a proud but powerless man witnessing the ruin of his people."
