mine is the passport of mallam ila

action packed novel that ended as a tragedy. drummer boy is also a wonderful piece. ,
I suggest you go through the thread on classic books by Ishilove , u will thoroughly enjoy it.

Samguine:
I've got soft copies of Things Fall Apart and No longer At Ease by Achebe, The Famished Road (Ben Okri) and I'm willing to share. Hard copies of The Passport of Mallam Ilia, The New Man, Toads for Supper, The Concubine... I don't know how that can be shared

I guess this thread can be an avenue where lovers of classics can share with one another.

I will really appreciate it if you can take time out to send me the e-books. Fakoredeoluwasegun@gmail.com
I think these books need to be saved before they go extinct. they may just be the last literary relics of that generation. thanks In advance.

litetias:
We also had The Runaway Bride and No Condition Is Permanent in our collection but please give me a little reminder of the plot of No Condition Is Permanent

no condition is permanent by Eliyi Ekineh really doesn't have a definite plot, the book summarises the life of Opuso ye selema from south south Nigeria, his many journeys with his wife Biddy from the pre-colonial days down to the days of the civil war. I used to describe this book back then as a novel filled with novels, it's a wonderful collection of fictional experiences of my Darling Nigeria. my kids must read these books, with them 25% of the job of parenting is done. trust me.

Samguine:
I got deliveries just last week of The Concubine by Elechi Amadi, Toads for Super by Chukwuemeka Ike, The New Man by Femi Ademiluyi and The Passport of Mallam Ilia which I just finished about an hour ago. Currently reading the Famished Road by Ben Okri. Any one that has other classics, please let me know if we can exchange.

where did you get them please? I think someone just decided to start his personal library.

some books from african writers I have read.

Violence by Festus Iyayi

The English magazine: "I have never read anything which touches the raw flesh of abject poverty and cruel exploitation so continuously, yet ones final impression is of courage, spirit, loyalty and indomitable love and humanity... A tremendously powerful novel. "

Idemudia, Adisa...

I av read ds book countless tyms

God bless you!! I have been trying to remember the name of this book for close to 12 years now. hope it's available online.

Amusaopeyemi:
On point. I still have the book and others listed up there.

please can you lend me any / some of them? I promise to return them in good time and condition.

imagine, just look at people's comments. anyway I was privileged to read the book "an African nights entertainment " and it left a mark on me though I would love to read it again ( read it only once) . however, if Mr. ekwensi made such a large scale "shoplifting" of another man's idea without properly referencing him there's no two names for it. I hope the truth is found out (and I really hope uncle Cyprian took permission). my best of his books remain trouble in form six.
