61. Arrow Of God (Chinua Achebe) - Book Review
    Ezeulu is the chief priest of Ulu, the leading deity of a group of Ibo villages  
    http://dannyreviews.com/h/Arrow_God.html
    
    Extractions: Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Heinemann 1974 A book review by Danny Yee Ezeulu is the chief priest of Ulu, the leading deity of a group of Ibo villages. He seems secure in his position, but contact with the British colonial administration becomes the catalyst for a power struggle within the community that will unseat both him and his god. Arrow of God is a classical tragedy: Ezeulu is unlucky in facing challenges outside his experience, but his fall is also the result of his pride and his refusal to take advice from friends and family. Arrow of God is notable for a wealth of minor characters, including Ezeulu's wives, sons, and daughters and his rivals and friends, and for its ethnographic richness, describing the ordinary life, religious rituals, and social stresses of an Ibo village; it is the story of a community as well as of an individual. Achebe inserts us into this world naturally and without any direct explanation, however, to the extent that it is the British characters who seem strange and out of place. Nor is there an idealisation of traditional life, or any simplistic anti-colonialism. A powerful and evocative novel

    Extractions: Reflections of a working writer and reader 26th January 2007 This novel would make an excellent gift for any young people you know who are thinking of becoming missionaries. Chinua Achebe was born in Ogidi, Nigeria, the son of a teacher in a missionary school. His parents, instilled in him many of the values of their traditional Ibo culture, but christened him Albert after Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria. Almost forty years ago Chinua Achebe published Things Fall Apart and became one of the founders of the new Nigerian literature. He would quickly become one of the finest African novelists, if not one of the finest in the world. This ironic novel traces the life of Okonkwo, one of the greatest men in Umuofia, who, after seven years of exile, returns to his village to find missionaries and colonial governors have arrived and are in the process of undermining and destroying his culture and tradition. With his world thrown radically off-balance he can only hurtle towards tragedy. Although he does not paint a vision of an ideal society, Achebe, nevertheless, introduces us to a range of timeless and empathetic characters, and displays his ability to portray them in a way that makes them instantly recognisable to us over both time and space.

    Extractions: Find Publish Community Join ... Books Many people today are familiar with American or English based authors such as Matthew Pearl, John Grissom, James Patterson and others. But not a lot of people know the international authors like Chinua Achebe or Agnes Vardy. International writers could teach us so much about the cultures that they live in just by us reading one or two of their novels. Many authors put in a little bit of themselves into their writing. Common phrase is "write what you know," and that is exactly what Achebe does. Achebe's work is inspiring and makes his readers want more of his characters, and their lifestyles. Chinua Achebe was born Albert Chinualumogu Achebe to the Ibo village in Nigeria, Africa. He grew up with the storytelling tradition of his tribe. His parents were stuck between the teachings of the Ibo traditions and the Christian teachings they converted to. Every name in the Nigerian culture has a meaning to it, and the unabbreviated Chinualumogu means "May God fight on my behalf." Achebe excelled in school and won scholarships for

    Extractions: (1930-) born on Nov 16 Nigerian novelist. "He described how imposed Western values led to social and psychological disorientation of traditional African society; "Things Fall Apart," 1959." When old people speak it is not because of the sweetness of words in our mouths; it is because we see something which you do not see. Stories serve the purpose of consolidating whatever gains people or their leaders have made or imagine they have made in their existing journey thorough the world. People create stories create people; or rather stories create people create stories. "When suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat for him, he tells you not to worry because he has brought his own stool." A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself. Published Sources for the above Quotations: F: ""No Longer At Ease," 1961."
