«Todo se esfarela» is the novel by Chinua Achebe, published by Rinoceronte Editora in paperback (214 pages, in Galician).
The novel follows Okonkwo, an Igbo warrior marked by ambition and fear of failure. After seven years of exile, he returns to his village and finds it transformed by the arrival of the British colonizer. Set in Nigeria at the end of the 19th century, it portrays the crumbling of a culture before the new imposed order.
The novel was originally published in 1958 and opens Chinua Achebe's African Trilogy. The Galician translation is by Saleta Fernández.
Classic of African narrative, for those approaching 20th-century literature or studying the impact of colonialism.
Chinua Achebe was a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic who is regarded as a central figure of modern African literature. His first novel and magnum opus, Things Fall Apart (1958), occupies a pivotal place in African literature and remains the most widely studied, translated, and read African novel. Along with Things Fall Apart, his No Longer at Ease (1960) and Arrow of God (1964) complete the "African Trilogy". Later novels include A Man of the People (1966) and Anthills of the Savannah (1987). Achebe is often referred to as the "father of modern African literature", although he vigorously rejected the characterization.
