''No Longer at Ease'' is a 1960 novel by Nigerian author Chinua Achebe. It is the story of an Igbo man, Obi Okonkwo, who leaves his village for a British education and a job in the Nigerian colonial civil service, but struggles to adapt to a Western lifestyle and ends up taking a bribe. The novel is the second work in what is sometimes referred to as the "African trilogy", following ''Things Fall Apart'' and preceding ''Arrow of God''. ''Things Fall Apart'' concerns the struggle of Obi Okonkwo's grandfather Okonkwo against the changes brought by the English. ==Novel's title== The book's title comes from the closing lines of T. S. Eliot's poem, ''The Journey of the Magi'': ''We returned to our places, these Kingdoms,'' ''But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation,'' ''With an alien people clutching their gods.'' ''I should be glad of another death.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No Longer at Ease」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
