"The white man whose power you know too well has ordered this meeting to stop."
"Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe ends with this poignant line.
This is a seminal work of African literature that explores the tragic fall of the protagonist, Okonkwo, and the impact of colonialism on traditional Igbo society. Through its vivid portrayal of pre-colonial life and the disruptive forces of European colonization, the novel captures the complexity of cultural change and resistance.
Bookends of Brilliance is an engaging podcast series exploring the art and impact of literary openings and closings. Just as a symphony's first note sets the tone for a musical journey, the initial words of a story immerse us in its essence.
