A Man of the People

From the renowned author of The African Trilogy, a political satire about an unnamed African country navigating a path between violence and corruption
Â
As Minister for Culture, former school teacher M. A. Nanga is a man of the people, as cynical as he is charming, and a roguish opportunist. When Odili, an idealistic young teacher, visits his former instructor at the ministry, the division between them is vast. But in the eat-and-let-eat atmosphere, Odili's idealism soon collides with his lustsâ€”and the two men's personal and political tauntings threaten to send their country into chaos. When Odili launches a vicious campaign against his former mentor for the same seat in an election, their mutual animosity drives the country to revolution.
Â
Published, prophetically, just days before Nigeria's first attempted coup in 1966,Â A Man of the PeopleÂ is an essential part of Achebeâ€™s body of work.
