THINGS FALL APART tells two overlapping, intertwining stories, both of which center around Okonkwo, a “strong man” of an Ibo village in Nigeria. The first of these stories traces Okonkwo's fall from grace with the tribal world in which he lives, and in its classical purity of line and economical beauty it provides us with a powerful fable about the immemorial conflict between the individual and society. The second story, which is as modern as the first is ancient, and which elevates the book to a tragic plane, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo's world through the arrival of aggressive, proselytizing European missionaries. These twin dramas are perfectly harmonized, and they are modulated by an awareness capable of encompassing at once the life of nature, human history, and the mysterious compulsions of the soul. THINGS FALL APART is the most illuminating and permanent monument we have to the modern African experience as seen from within.

用整一個下午看完瞭《瓦解》,小說雖然篇幅不長,中文譯版也就十四萬多字,可好作品不在乎部頭有多巨大,簡練如此的,我完全要把它歸為能夠滌蕩內心,讓思維縱深的小說之列。 近現代的非洲大陸是片災難深重的土地,什麼古老文明的發源地,什麼人類社會發展簡史的展窗…在資本主...

評分 評分五年前,我曾經在巴西利亞大學跟一個靠行賄混進訪問教師公寓居住的尼日利亞留學生做瞭一段時間的室友,這是我第一次跟黑非洲兄弟走得這麼近。這哥們是尼日利亞三大民族(伊博、豪塞、優魯巴)中的優魯巴人,雖是學生,但從不見去上課,終日在看電視和無來由的手舞足蹈中愉...
評分很好讀但絕不簡單的一本書。讀的是一部非洲部落史詩,經曆的是一場深入黑非洲內部的,伴著神秘低沉如心跳般鼓點的大夢。不僅僅是內容,它的如非洲傳說般的簡樸語言,它的如非洲木雕般的清晰有力的綫條,以及絕對高超而毫不做作的敘事技巧,都是隻有一個真正的非洲人纔有可能做...

The story was smooth and beautiful in a particular way. Still, find it difficult to evaluate the aesthetics of a work written by an African who writes in English. What kind of criteria should we adopt?
