Ken Follett
Ken Follett's cult novels finally together. The Pillars of the Earth: 12th century. England is torn by civil war and weakened by famine and a terrible religious crisis. In Kingsbridge, the construction of the world's largest cathedral sparks rivalries, violence, and power struggles. The destinies of Philip, the prior, Jack, the builder, or the young aristocrat Aliena intertwine in this superb novelistic epic where love and hate are omnipresent. A new edition augmented with a preface and an unreleased interview with Ken Follett. World Without End: Two centuries after The Pillars of the Earth, the city of Kingsbridge and its cathedral are at the heart of a new grand epic fresco. 1327. Four children witness a murderous chase in the woods: a knight kills two soldiers in the queen's service, before burying a mysterious letter whose secret could endanger the English crown. This day forever binds their fates... The genius architect, the freedom-loving thief, the idealistic woman, the monk consumed by ambition... Driven by faith, love and hate, the taste for power or the thirst for vengeance, each will have to fight to fulfill their destiny in a rapidly changing world – shaken by wars, devastated by famines, and ravaged by the Black Death. A monumental fresco by the greatest builder of historical novels of our time.
