Armand Flachs armandflace88a — This novel is about the Igbo culture in Nigeria and how European culture comes to destroy their seeds and their customs. The intrusion of the white man in Nigeria and how they tried to impose their ‘leprosy’, their beliefs and systems of government in Nigeria. Like leprosy, they were spreading throughout Africa, taking the culture away from Nigerians and dissolving it into Christianity or other European forms of mission. Therefore, the white man was seen as horrible men, who wanted to take away the culture and destroy it. Okonkwo, one of the main characters in the book and the one with who the book is introduced, is best exemplified in his vulnerability towards an effeminate and weak attitude. One has to take into consideration that Okonkwo was a man who despised his father, and wanted to present himself as a man strong enough and rather masculine. For this reason, Ikemefuna (ironically not one of his sons) came to be one of the most important persons in Okonkwo’s life both as an individual capable of demonstrating an invincible strength and masculine ‘attire’, but also as a son. Okonkowe admired Ikemefuna’s ability to bring in that masculine and strong aspect to the family, for he would teach important things to Nwoye, things which Okonkwo considered to give men a great potential and spiritual strength. After Okonkwo decided to plot against his own adoptive son, Ikemefuna, Okonkwo fell under great consternation, sadness and incredible guilt.

Terry Loh terryloh — I wasnt thrilled with this book. I was expecting much more from it and it just supplied me with periods of tremendously tedious reading. Zorba is definitely an interesting character, one of a kind in fact, but I still don't know if it's worth it to pick up and read. I certainly wouldnt re-read this book myself.
