Fiche livre

Beautifully written yet highly controversial, *An Image of Africa* asserts Achebe's belief in Joseph Conrad as a 'bloody racist' and his conviction that Conrad's novel *Heart of Darkness* only serves to perpetuate damaging stereotypes of black people. Also included is *The Trouble with Nigeria*, Achebe's searing outpouring of his frustrations with his country. GREAT IDEAS. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
