- Achebe derives title of his world-famous novel from a poem written by Irish poet WB Yeats' The Second Coming - The theme of Things Fall Apart is quite similar to that of Yeat's The Second Coming When late African literary giant, Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe wrote his world-famous book, Things Fall Apart, he claimed was inspired by the poem of late Irish poet, WB Yeats, The Second Coming. Achebe derived the title of Things Fall Apart from the third line of William Butler Yeats’ poem, The Second Coming. “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world ...” While Achebe is writing about the arrival of British colonialism and accompanying Christian missions causing chaos in Africa as they come into conflict with traditional Igbo culture and religion, Yeats writes against the cultural as well as political imperialism of the English. Yeats poem and Achebe’s novel both draw attention to the parallels between the English oppression of Ireland and its oppression of Igbos in Nigeria. According to veteran Nollywood actor who is now based in Dublin, Deji Adenuga, via his Facebook page noted that Irish woman, Irene Duffy Lynch, who has been to Nigerian fell in love with Achebe’s Things Fall Apart so much that she was said to have read it over and over and again. Lynch was so impressed with Achebe’s book that she fell in love with it and got inspired to translate Things Fall Apart to Irish language. The Irish woman hopes to bring Achebe’s Things Fall Apart into schools in Ireland for the enjoyment of the people of Ireland and the Irish people all over the world. https://www.legit.ng/amp/1264633-things-fall-apart-irene-duffy-lynch-translate-chinua-achebes-irish-language.html 4 Likes |

Achebe long after his death still holds the Pipe and smoke over the heads of Nigeria writers alive. A man's works has outlived him. The legacy of your exceptional works can live aside your bones and beyond your flesh. Richdad 44 Likes 1 Share |

Things are really falling apart much more now than at the time Achebe wrote his book. But true Christianity is not the problem. 2 Likes 1 Share |

If they like, let them translate it to the language of Heaven...I read the book when I was in JSS1 and found out that there was nothing in it that could make it more interesting than Cyprian Ekwensi's books. |

It is a story that resonates around the world among the natives and the conquered — the decimation of a culture and the people's sense of being. But lynch reminds me of willie lynch. |
