Things Fall Apart, the first novel written by late Nigerian literary icon, Chinua Achebe, has made the list of 12 "Greatest Books Ever Written" compiled by Encyclopedia Britannica.
According to the compilation written by John Pecoraro, the book, which now exists in 57 translations across the world, is one of the greatest ever written novels on the website of Encyclopedia Britannica in recent times.
Things Fall Apart, often considered Achebe's best, is the most widely read book in modern African literature.
Other novels that made the list include; "Anna Karenina," by Leo Tolstoy, "To Kill a Mockingbird," by Harper Lee, "The Great Gatsby," by F. Scott Fitzgerald and "One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Others are "A Passage to India," by E.M. Forster, "Invisible Man," by Ralph Ellison, "Don Quixote," by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, "Beloved," by Toni Morrison, "Mrs. Dalloway," by Virginia Woolf, "Jane Eyre," by Charlotte Bronte and "The Color Purple," by Alice Walker.
The honour comes months after the 60th anniversary of the publication of the novel and the release of a new edition of the classic novel with cover artwork by Nigerian artist, Victor Ekpuk.

Jayne Augoye Copying and pasting the whole of someone's else's text the way it is, is called plagiarism. And you could be penalized.This is plagiarized work, @femseen. It belongs to
It is not enough to quote the source below. You are not a reporter. Even reporters don't just copy and paste. You should be creating your own content.
Plagiarism is unacceptable. Lets assume you did not know about it. But now you do. A repeat of the same, i am afraid will be penalized by some very concerned members of the community. They could downvote you and that would negatively affect your account.
Otherwise, i see you are new, and have only made 14 days. let me take the pleasure to still welcome you.
Steem responsibly.
@mirrors
I actually saw this post in a forum called nairaland, then I copied and pasted the source code of only the site seen there. I thought I read from the steemit rules that one can copy paste any news and add the source code to it.
Not true. That is why that @cheetah bot keeps commenting on your posts. I left some guideline in one of your posts, check it out and see.
The little i can quickly remember is that it is okay to quote other sources, especially if you credit them, but even then, at least 50% of the writing should be yours, original.
I will try and look up some good posts on how to use other people's works. And get them to you.
