Most Famous Novels From other Continents. by Ndipe(m): 12:10am On May 10, 2011 |
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is undoubtedly the most famous novel ever written by an African. It is widely read in African countries and also a staple in schools in the USA and Europe. It was ranked 14th of the 100 most influential novels in the world by Newsweek magazine, outpacing its equally popular contemporaries like Anna Karenina, (Tolstoy), Beloved (Toni Morrison) and One hundred years of solitute (Marquez). http://www.librarything.com/bookaward/Newsweek's+Top+100+Books:+The+Meta-List Aside from "To Kill a mockingbird" by Harper Lee, perhaps the most famous American novel and "Pride and Prejudice" regarded as the most famous novel of all times which was penned by a European (Jane Austen), what other novels from other continents has a near universal recognition (in the literary circle) as Things Fall Apart? |
