Chinua Achebe born Albert Chinụalụmọgụ Achebe; 16 November 1930 – 21 March 2013 was a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic who is regarded as a central figure of modern African literature.
His first novel and magnum opus, Things Fall Apart (1958), occupies a pivotal place in African literature and remains the most widely studied, translated, and read African novel.
Along with Things Fall Apart, his No Longer at Ease (1960) and Arrow of God (1964) complete the "African Trilogy"; later novels include A Man of the People (1966) and Anthills of the Savannah (1987).
Achebe is often referred to as the "father of African literature", although he vigorously rejected the characterization.
