Sommario/riassunto

Reader''s Guides provide a comprehensive starting point for any advanced student, giving an overview of the context, criticism and influence of key works. Each guide also offers students fresh critical insights and provides a practical introduction to close reading and to analysing literary language and form. They provide up-to-date, authoritative but accessible guides to the most commonly studied classic texts.   Chinua Achebe''s remarkable novel Things Fall Apart (1958) is probably the best known African novel and has become one of the world''s most influential literary masterpieces.
