The New Tribe

The AWS Classics is a brand-new Heinemann series which offers a selection of the best-known works of African literature originally published in the African Writes Series. With new introductions written for each title in the series, these classic novels are a must-read for anyone interested in African Literature.

Originally published two years after the acclaimed Things Fall Apart, No Longer at Ease is a brilliant and intriguing work of fiction in which Chinua Achebe uses the ‘fall’ of one man to depict the birth of a whole new age in Nigerian life – a powerful, disillusioning age of corruption.

By Chinua Achebe, winner of the 2007 Man Booker International Prize, this edition of Things Fall Apart includes an introduction by Dr Mpalive-Hangson Msiska, Senior Lecturer in English and Humanities at Birkbeck College, University of London.
