Zeus123: At the bolded.....I can tell you there is nothing funny about Achebe in global literary circles. The man is an iconoclast who keeps rising like a phoenix even after his death. I have been to a few literary events and I can tell you that the very mention of Achebe always lightens the room. By the way, perhaps Google will help you appreciate Achebe and his exploits better. Why not try finding out how many languages his work has been translated into. That should give you a general idea. Pls I am not Igbo. Just a Nigerian who appreciates accomplishments. 3 Likes |

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a classic and deserves to be on the list as well. Since it's publication nearly 2 centuries ago, it has never ran out of print. |
