   V románe Svet sa rozpadá Chinuu Achebeho ide o klasické rozprávanie o kataklizmatickom stretnutí Afriky s Európou, ktorá na kontinente vytvára koloniálnu prítomnosť. Prostredníctvom fiktívnych zážitkov Okonkwa, bohatého a nebojácneho igbského bojovníka z Umuofie na konci 19. storočia, skúma márny odpor jedného muža voči znehodnocovaniujeho igbských tradícií britskými politickými a náboženskými silami a jeho zúfalstvo, keď jeho komunita kapituluje pred novým mocenským poriadkom. Svet sa rozpadá je jedným z najosvetľujúcejších a najtrvalejších pamätníkov africkej skúsenosti. Achebe nielenže zachytáva život v predkoloniálnej africkej dedine, ale sprostredkúva tragédiu straty tohto sveta a zároveň rozširuje naše chápanie súčasnej reality.

  Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe's first novel, has received widespread critical acclaim since its first publication thirty years ago. It has sold over 3 million copies and has been translated into more than forty languages. No Longer at Ease, its sequel, won the Nigerian national trophy, while Arrow of God confirmed Achebe's standing as the founder of modern African fiction. These three novels, collected here in a single volume with a new introduction by the author, chronicle the story of twentieth century West Africa.'The Story is the tragedy of Okonkwo, an important man in the Obi tribe in the days when white men were first appearing on the scene. Mr Achebe handles the macabre with telling restraint and the pathetic without any false embarrassment.'THE OBSERVER

  "The trilogy opens with the groundbreaking Things Fall Apart, the tale of Okonkwo, a hero in his village, whose clashes with missionaries -- coupled with his own tragic pride -- lead to his fall from grace. Arrow of God takes up the ongoing conflict between continuity and change as Ezeulu, the headstrong chief priest, finds his authority is under threat from rivals and colonial functionaries. But he believes himself to be untouchable and is determined to lead his people, even if it is towards their own destruction. Finally, in No Longer at Ease, Okonkwo's grandson, educated in England, returns to a civil-service job in Lagos, only to see his morality erode as he clings to his membership in the ruling elite"-- Provided by publisher
