"Things Fall Apart" is a novel written by Nigerian author Chinua Achebe, first published in 1958. It is one of the most widely read and studied works of African literature.

The novel tells the story of Okonkwo, a respected warrior and leader in the Igbo community of Umuofia in pre-colonial Nigeria. Okonkwo is determined to uphold traditional Igbo values and achieve greatness as defined by his society. However, his life is marked by personal tragedy and the arrival of European colonizers, which disrupts the social and cultural fabric of his community.

"Things Fall Apart" explores themes of colonialism, cultural clash, tradition versus change, masculinity, and the consequences of hubris. Achebe provides a nuanced portrayal of Igbo society, its customs, beliefs, and rituals, while also critiquing the destructive impact of colonialism on African societies.

The title of the novel is taken from a line in W.B. Yeats' poem "The Second Coming," which speaks to the breakdown of social order and the upheaval of traditional values.
