This thesis examines the element of nature in postcolonial unnamed African country, South Africa, Trinidad and China in V. S. Naipaul’s A Bend in the River (1979), John Maxwell Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians (1980), Michael Anthony’s Bright Road to El Dorado (1983), and Amitav Ghosh's River of Smoke (2011). The study also examines the environment that the characters inhabit (village, town or city), and the role of the colonizer in determining the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized.
