| Abstract

|
Since its publication in 1958 "Things fall apart" has won global critical acclaim. Offering an insight into African culture, this is both a tragic and moving story of an individual set in the wider context of the coming of colonialism, as well as a powerful and complex political statement of cross-cultural encounters
