Ok
The sun will shine on those standing before on those sitting.
When our education was good. The book was used by literature students but why they stopped, I don't know.

blesskewe:
Things fall apart
The center cannot hold
I read that book more than 3times

crazysaint:


Just three times?

I read that book up-to 20 times, and am still hungry to read it again and again.


Such a sweet novel!

toniacan:
A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to redeem them from starving. They all have food in their houses. when we gather together at the moonlight village ground, it is not because of the moon. Every man can see it in his own compound. we come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so.
Therefore let us continue with the team spirit and enjoy the power of togetherness. let's smile not because we don't have problems but because we are stronger than our problem.

I tried to put this down but couldn't recall it this much. I doff my hat nuff respeck






The white man came in steadily among us, he has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.

The novel is overhyped.

While the coward afonja called Wole soyinka is somewhere in USA passing empty threats as usual.
All afonjas took their cowardly act from the idiot called awolowo

That's a scene in the Igbo version. I'm not too sure the particular place you can get cos my teacher taught it in sec sch, but you can get it in Owerri and Aba, Onitsha too.

The novel is overhyped.

Thank you, I have never seen the Igbo translation of Things Fall Apart in print before. I am presently in Aba, is there a place you can direct me to where I can get it. I would really love to read the story in my own language. It will have a deeper refined meaning.

Thanks.

1. A god who can kill his only child - a male child for that matter, what will he do to another man's child? I must follow him..

2. The white man came quietly and peaceably with his religion, we were amused at the white man's foolishness and allowed him to stay; now, the white man has won our brothers, we can no longer act as one. The white man has put a knife on the cord that held us together and we have fallen apart.

3. Turning and turning in the widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer... Things fall apart, the center cannot hold, mere anarchy rules the world.
