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.
