Description

Incisive, illuminating and intimate, this book by one of Africa's most influential writers is also an encounter with the man behind his work, offering readers a rare insight into his personal life and education. A moving account of an exceptional life, this is above all a book that articulates persuasively why literature matters. Stories are a real source of power in the world, Achebe proves, and to imitate the literature of another culture is to give that power away.

Author Biography:

Chinua Achebe (1930-2013) was born in Nigeria and, in a long and distinguished career, has published novels, stories, essays and poems. Cited in the Sunday Times as one of the '1,000 Makers of the Twentieth Century' for defining 'a modern African literature that was truly African' and thereby making 'a major contribution to world literature'. Achebe has received more than 30 honorary doctorates from universities around the world. In 2007 he was awarded the Booker International Prize.
