English Summary/英文概要： (The writer) in whose company the prison walls fell down’ - Nelson Mandela. After a long silence Achebe published in 1987 what many see as his greatest work - an acrid, frightening look at oil-boom Nigeria, a world of robberies, road blocks and intimidation in which those who are meant to be protecting a country’s citizens are in reality supervising the looting.
This eagerly awaited work, titled Anthills of the Savanna, was published in 1987, and described the failure of contemporary African politicians and intellectuals. It was short-listed for the Booker Prize of that year.

About the Author/作者介绍： "[Anthills Of The Savannah] has wonderful satiric moments and resounds with big African laughter." -- The New York Review Of Books.
"Achebe moves effortlessly... creating a flurry of perspectives from which his story’s dramatic and disturbing events are scrutinized. Anthills Of The Savannah... will prove hard to forget. It’s a vision of social change that strikes us with the force of prophecy" -- USA Today.
"This bitterly ironic novel by the Nigerian author of Things Fall Apart is at times more of a polemic than dramatic narrative, but it presents a candid, trenchantly insightful view of contemporary Africa," wrote PW of the portrait of a West African military coup leader, and his moral deterioration. --Publishers Week

"Achebe has written a story that sidesteps both ideologies of the African experience and political agendas, in order to lead us to a deeply human universal wisdom." -- Washington Post Book World.
