Thank you Google for this honor...Nigeria appreciates this honor #GoogleDoodle:
The Nigerian novelist was born on November 16, 1930. He wrote his first novel titled: "Things Fall Apart (1958)", a widely read novel in modern African.
After Things Fall Apart - which depicts the complex customs of the Igbo people - and the wide acceptance it received, Achebe went on to write No Longer at Ease (1960), Arrow of God (1964), A Man of the People (1966), and Anthills of the Savannah (1987).
In October 2012, Achebe's publishers, Penguin Books, released what became his last published book There Was a Country: A Personal History of Biafra. He died in March 2013.
My favorites Quotes from the novelist:
- Until the Lions have their own historians the story of the hunt will always glorify the Hunter.
- One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised
- A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself
