A Man of the People Paperback / softback
by Chinua Achebe
Part of the Penguin Modern Classics series
Paperback / softback
Description
As Minister for Culture, the Honourable M. A. Nanga is 'a man of the people', as cynical as he is charming, and a roguish opportunist.
At first, the contrast between Nanga and Odili, a former pupil who is visiting the ministry, appears huge.
But in the 'eat-and-let-eat' atmosphere, Odili's idealism soon collides with his lusts - and the two men's personal and political tauntings threaten to send their country into chaos.
Published, prophetically, just days before Nigeria's first attempted coup in 1966, A Man of the People is an essential part of his body of work dealing with modern African history.
