Summary:
In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world using the Pillars of the Earth, a sweeping epic novel set in twelfth-century England centered on the building of a cathedral and several of the a huge selection of lives it affected. Critics were overwhelmed-“it’ll hold you, fascinate you, surround you” (Chicago Tribune)-and readers everywhere hoped for a sequel.
World Without End happens in the same town of Kingsbridge, two decades after the townspeople finished building the about World Without End exquisite Gothic cathedral that was at the heart from the Pillars of the planet earth. The cathedral as well as the priory are again at the center of a internet of love and hate, greed and satisfaction, ambition and revenge, but this sequel stands alone. This time around the men and women of a fantastic cast of characters find themselves at a crossroad of fresh tips- about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In a global where proponents from the old ways fiercely battle those with intensifying minds, the intrigue and pressure quickly reach a boiling stage against the devastating backdrop of the best natural disaster ever to strike the individual race-the Black Death.
3 years in the writing, and nearly eighteen years since its predecessor, World Without End breathes new lease of life into the epic historical novel as soon as again demonstrates Ken Follett is a masterful author writing near the top of his craft.
