Klassikerklubben#33 - Janne Stigen Drangsholt om Joseph Conrads Mørkets hjerte og Chinua Achebes Mønsteret raknerI 1902 ga Joseph Conrad ut sin kortroman Mørkets hjerte, om en ekspedisjon med båt inn i Afrikas indre for å finne den mystiske Kurtz. Fortellinga ble aldri en suksess i hans levetid, men har i ettertid blitt regnet som et hovedverk i det 20. århundres litteratur. Den nigerianske forfatteren Chinua Achebe var ikke like begeistret: han raljerte mot Conrads bok, mente den var rasistisk og støtende, og fremstilte afrikanere som barbarer og villmenn uten kultur og menneskelighet. I Mønsteret rakner (1958) skriver Achebe om livet på den andre siden, og viser fram den kulturen Conrad hverken kjente til eller interes...

NADA MÁS QUE LIBROSNada más que libros - 'Todo se desmorona' (Chinua Achebe)“ El hombre blanco es muy listo. Ha metido un cuchillo en las cosas que nos mantenían unidos y nos hemos derrumbado.”

LiterateEpisode 10: Things Fall Apart by Chinua AchebeChinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart is the most widely read African novel, and we're exploring some of the reasons why. We follow its main character, Okonkwo, from childhood to death. From the start, it's an enthralling story of striving and courage as he surmounts various challenges to establish himself as an Igbo elder and warrior in Umuofia, during the late 1800s. However, this novel from Nigeria does not end with his rise to wealth and power. It ends, instead, with Okonkwo's final reduction to death and disgrace by the colonial British government. And there is as much poignancy in...

The History of LiteratureChinua AchebeChinua Achebe's first novel Things Fall Apart (1959) ushered in a new era where African countries, which had recently achieved post-colonial independence, now achieved an independence of a different kind - the freedom of imagination and artistry, as African authors told the stories of their geography, their culture, and their experience from the point of view of Africans, and not from the point of view of those who perceived them from only from the outside. "It sparked my love affair with African literature," Toni Morrison said. Maya Angelou said it was a book where “all readers meet theirr brothers, sisters, pa...

Motherfoclóir#97 | Sin é, Achebe: Translating the Great Nigerian Novel into IrishThe Irish for a Prime Minister is Príomh-Aire; Taoiseach is specifically the title of the Prime Minister of Ireland and it comes from the old word for a tribal chief. This word is still used on the Nuacht on those occasions when an African tribal chief is in the news - older listeners might remember references to “An Taoiseach Bhutelezi”.
This isn’t the only time that Irish and African imaginations have dreamed the same dream. When Chinua Achebe set about to write his great novel, Nigeria was not yet an independent state and gripped by a debate on langu...

The ForumChinua Achebe: Rewriting the African storyThe Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe is regarded as a giant of world literature. Best known as the author of the ground-breaking novel Things Fall Apart, he was also acclaimed for his works of non-fiction, poetry and his books for children. Raised and educated when his country was still under British colonial rule, Achebe witnessed great change, experiencing both the dawn of an independent Nigeria and the devastation of civil war. He is a writer famed for depicting, in English, the traditions of Igbo society in south-eastern Nigeria, and for engaging with subjects such as conflict, corruption and colonialism.
