Ken Follett
Descubre una épica saga de ambición, amor, codicia y venganza entrelazada con el destino de cuatro jóvenes en el Kingsbridge medieval de Ken Follett.
On the morning following All Hallows' Eve in the year 1327, a quartet of young children furtively makes their escape from the ancient, cathedral-dominated city of Kingsbridge. This unlikely group consists of a resourceful thief, a dominating bully, a boy gifted with exceptional intelligence, and a determined girl who dreams of a future as a healer and doctor. Deep within the concealing forest, they become unwitting witnesses to a brutal double murder, a traumatic event that will forever brand their memories. As they mature into adulthood, their individual destinies will become inextricably interwoven, shaped by powerful forces of ambition, the complexities of love, insatiable greed, and the burning desire for revenge. Their lives will unfold against a backdrop of profound historical upheaval, experiencing periods of widespread prosperity and dire famine, the terror of the Black Death plague, and the ravages of war. One of the boys will embark on extensive journeys across the world, only to find his ultimate return to his origins; the other will ascend to the position of a powerful yet deeply corrupt nobleman, wielding significant influence. One of the girls will courageously defy the immense authority of the medieval church, challenging its established order; the other will pursue a love deemed impossible, facing formidable obstacles. Through all their trials and triumphs, they will perpetually remain under the enduring, ominous shadow cast by the unexplained killing they observed on that pivotal day of their childhood. Ken Follett's previous masterful epic, The Pillars of the Earth, captivated millions globally with its engrossing drama of conflict, passion, and intricate family relationships set against the monumental construction of a grand cathedral. Now, World Without End transports readers back to the familiar medieval landscape of Kingsbridge, some two centuries later, where the inhabitants—men, women, and children alike—are once again compelled to contend with the relentless and devastating sweep of historical change. ‘Follett’s storytelling skills keep you compulsively turning the pages to the satisfactory ending of good triumphant over evil’ Daily Mail
