Arrow of God
Chinua Achebe
African traditions clash with modernity in this poignant story of a father-son conflict set in Nigeria. Ezeulu, chief priest of the god Ulu, is losing his authority to rivals, his family, and the white government. Unwavering, he leads his people even as destruction looms. "Arrow of God" is a spare and powerful tale of faith lost and struggle against the forces of change. The second volume of Achebe's African trilogy, it follows the classic "Things Fall Apart" and precedes "No Longer at Ease."

It made me see that it was, in fact, possible for people of colour to exist within literature. Arrow of God has remained one of my favourite novels. Set in 1920s Igboland, it tells the story of a remarkable priest, Ezeulu, and a British administrator, and the ways in which colonialism brought not only political but cultural changes. It is funny and absorbing, moving and beautiful. I love this book. – источник
