Explanation To Books Arrow of God (The African Trilogy #3)

Set in the Igbo heartland of eastern Nigeria, one of Africa's best-known writers describes the conflict between old and new in its most poignant aspect: the personal struggle between father and son.

Ezeulu, the headstrong chief priest of the god Ulu, is worshipped by the six villages of Umuaro. But his authority is increasingly under threat—from rivals within his tribe, from functionaries of the colonial government, and even from his own family members. Yet he believes himself to be untouchable: surely he is an arrow in the bow of his God? Armed with this belief, he is prepared to lead his people, even if it is towards their own destruction. But his people will not be dominated so easily.

Spare and powerful, Arrow of God is an unforgettable portrayal of the loss of faith, and the downfall of a man in a society forever altered by colonialism.

Comment On Regarding Books Arrow of God (The African Trilogy #3)

This book is hard to like at times. Achebe is very unflattering to women.

Arrow of God (1964)Chinua AchebeLast summer I read Things Fall Apart which is the first of a trilogy by C. Achebe. Arrow of God is the third. I literally couldnt put it down. Again, this is a novel about the struggle between old ways and new; tradition and change. Its set in the 1920s. Here too a son is sacrificed and sent to the White mans school/church to learn his language and ways. Arrow of God may essentially be the story of a chief priest, his wives and children and the patterns of

Nope. Just nope. I think I've seen this book regarded as a great work of literature and the author as an amazing one. To both, I STRONGLY disagree.I hated this book and used an audiobook to make progress and a print copy to track that progress. Using the audiobook was probably the only way I could have ever gotten through this one. It was boring as h-e-double-hockey-sticks. Where was the plot? Where was the action? Characters with substance? Personalities? Yeah, this book ain't got none of that.

A rich and complex book--less totemic than the great Things Fall Apart, but much more of a deep dive into the psychology of both the colonizer and the colonized. Having read all three of Achebe's so-called African trilogy, I remain most struck by the quiet grace of Achebe's narrative style. Like an Ali rope-dope, Achebe playa things so close to vest only to deliver thundering jabs when least expected.

Read it because it was listed as one of Adichie's favourite books.The story is somewhat like 'Things Fall Apart' in that it narrates a story of the rise and, later, fall of a man due to values changing under a challenge from colonial rule - only this time it was a religious leader, instead of a warrior/farmer.The reading experience was greatly enhanced from my having read Carl Jung's 'Man and His Symbols'. To begin with, Jung had much to say about the masks and their impact on personality and

I liked this book the best among Achebes African Trilogy. Its a novel that chronicles Igbo tribal life in the 1920s, fracturing under its own human frailties and prejudices, and stoked into decline by the British colonial incursion.Unlike in Things Fall Apart, there is no glossary of local words and customs, and yet there is a lot of local flavour here: poetry, quotes, customs and festivals described in elaborate detail. I felt as if Achebe was trying to write the African novel in English,

3.5 stars.
