Pioneering in their portrayal of African life from an African perspective, his early novels are: the groundbreaking Things Fall Apart (1958), his masterpiece and probably the most widely read book by a black African writer; No Longer at Ease (1960); and Arrow of God (1964). Forming a thematic trilogy, these works poignantly describe the effects of European colonialism on Igbo society, Nigeria, and the newly independent African nations.
