https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1fK5A6HIfo Chinua Achebe born Albert Chinụalụmọgụ Achebe (16 November 1930 – 21 March 2013) was a Nigerian novelist, poet, professor, and critic. His first novel Things Fall Apart (1958), often considered his best, is the most widely read book in modern African literature. Achebe has won several awards and recognition both internationally and locally. Raised by his parents in the Igbo town of Ogidi in South-Eastern Nigeria, Achebe excelled at school and won a scholarship to study medicine, but changed his studies to English literature at University College (now the University of Ibadan).He became fascinated with world religions and traditional African cultures, and began writing stories as a university student. He gained worldwide attention for his novel, Things Fall Apart in the late 1950s; his later novels include No Longer at Ease (1960), Arrow of God (1964), A Man of the People (1966), and Anthills of the Savannah (1987). Achebe wrote his novels in English and defended the use of English, a "language of colonizers", in African literature. Achebe is regarded as a true African hero because of his exploits in literature and support for traditional African culture. http://www.lavivaafrica.com/2017/11/videochinua-achebes-87th-birthday.html#.Wg0UoPcOtzE.link
