{"product_id":"9780141186894","title":"Man of the People","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs Minister for Culture, the Honourable M. A. Nanga is 'a man of the people', as cynical as he is charming, and a roguish opportunist. At first, the contrast between Nanga and Odili, a former pupil who is visiting the ministry, appears huge. But in the 'eat-and-let-eat' atmosphere, Odili's idealism soon collides with his lusts - and the two men's personal and political tauntings threaten to send their country into chaos. Published, prophetically, just days before Nigeria's first attempted coup in 1966, A Man of the People is an essential part of his body of work dealing with modern African history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Chinua+Achebe\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eChinua Achebe\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chinua Achebe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378130600099,"sku":"9780141186894","price":270.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780141186894_ae9abb45-2029-48b4-9242-b79c1b697a2a.jpg?v=1776453704","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780141186894","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
