Sinossi
"La freccia di Dio", pubblicato nel 1964 a sei anni di distanza da "Le cose crollano" e "Non più tranquilli", rappresenta il completamento della "Trilogia africana" di Chinua Achebe, considerata universalmente il suo capolavoro. Ezeulu è il sacerdote di una divinità che rappresenta l'unità dei sei villaggi di Ulmuaro. È un uomo capace di giudizio e anche di una certa diplomazia, ma la sua autorità sta pian piano venendo meno di fronte alla minaccia degli altri: i bianchi funzionari del nuovo governo coloniale inglese. Non crolla però la sua sicurezza: è una freccia nell'arco di Dio, di questo è sicuro, e forte di tale convinzione si prepara a guidare il suo popolo, fino alla distruzione e all'annientamento, se sarà necessario.

I enjoyed his previous books of the Trilogy. However, this book feels kind of a copy from Things Fall Apart Leggi tutto
Once more, Achebe has succeeded in writing a story that had me living in a very different world for a while. Arrow of God is not about the delightful (not!) Okonkwo nor the honest and upright (not!) Obi Okonkwo. Instead, Achebe has told the story of a completely different family, in no way related t Leggi tutto
This year I decided to re-read some of my favorites and what I consider classics. I re-read Things Fall Apart, and in doing so I discovered that this book was a part of a trilogy, of course I had to read the entire series. Arrow of God felt a bit underwhelming for me, it also felt very repetitive at Leggi tutto
There is no escape from the white man. He has come. When Suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat left for him, he tells you not to worry because he has brought his own stool. The white man is like that. Before any of you here was old enough to tie a cloth between the legs I saw wi Leggi tutto
