<h3>Here's a time line of Prof. Achebe's life:</h3> | |
<ul> | |
<li> <strong>1930</strong> Chinua Achebe was born on the 16 of November, 1930. Achebe's parents, Isaiah Okafo Achebe and Janet Anaenechi Iloegbunam, were converts to the Protestant Church Mission Society (CMS) in Nigeria</li> | |
<li> <strong>1936</strong> Achebe entered St Philips' Central School. </li> | |
<li><strong>1948</strong> Achebe obtained such high marks in the entrance examination that he was admitted as a Major Scholar in the university's first intake and given a bursary to study medicine</li> | |
<li><strong>1964</strong> Achebe's third book, Arrow of God, was published.</li> | |
<li><strong>1966</strong> Achebe pulished A Man of the People. </li> | |
<li><strong>1971</strong> He wrote "Dirge for Okigbo", originally in the Igbo language but later translated to English.</li> | |
<li><strong>1982 </strong>Achebe retired from the University of Nigeria.</li> | |
<li><strong>1983 </strong>He became the party's deputy national vice-president. He published a book called The Trouble with Nigeria to coincide with the upcoming elections.</li> | |
<li><strong>1987</strong> Achebe released his fifth novel, Anthills of the Savannah, about a military coup in the fictional West African nation of Kangan. A finalist for the Booker Prize, the novel was hailed in the Financial Times: "in a powerful fusion of myth, legend and modern styles, Achebe has written a book which is wise, exciting and essential, a powerful antidote to the cynical commentators from 'overseas' who see nothing ever new out of Africa."</li> | |
</ul> | |
<p> <blockquote> "The father of modern African writing, wins 2007 Man Booker International Prize". <p> | |
