The Pillars of the Earth
England of the twelfth century: uneasy times of cruelty, blood and violence, unbridled tempers and moral degradation… Sometimes it is impossible to understand what Good and Evil is. An immense panorama of the darkest times of the English history – struggle for throne, internal wars, the treason of the Church – and the erection of magnificent gothic cathedral as a background.
The first historical novel by a British author Ken Follett, which brought him great success just overnight. The description
s of life and traditions of those times, passions and loves, hatred and strife of ambitions allow paralleling the book with our time. The plot, following the life of the characters during forty years, appears to be so captivating that do not let the reader to put the book off till the last page.

Pillars of the Earth has been replaced by World Without End. I did not want to READ ANY BOOK, I wanted to read Pillars of the Earth. But I give Worlds Without End an 8.5.Mike

Ken Follet is such a good writer, his illustrations of grief and death are so overwhelming that at times tears are at the brink of one's eyes. Such was Caris's mothers death part.Write Review:
