The Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett
2007-12-06 12:16:00 Ken Follett’s historical masterpiece, The Pillars of the Earth, is a spellbinding story set in Medieval England. It’s the tale of Philip, the devout monk; Tom, the architect whose job is to build the greatest cathedral; Lady Aliena and her secret shame; and it’s also a tale of good against evil, church against state, and brother against brother.You can get the Oprah's Book Club edition of The Pillars of the Earth for under $12. You can also get it in Spanish and other languages.Here's an excerpt from The Pillars of the Earth ~ by Ken Follett ~"Tom dropped the remains of his bread in the pocket of his apron, then narrowed his eyes against the sun and gazed across the field. The horse had its ears back and nostrils flared, but it seemed to Tom that its head was well up, a sign that it was not completely out of control. Sure enough, as it came closer the rider leaned back, hauling on the reins, and the huge animal seemed to slow a little. Now Tom could feel the drumming of it...
World Without End - Ken Follett
2007-12-04 18:15:00 Review - After Reading "Pillars of the Earth" I could not wait to read this one and purchased World Without End as soon as it was released. From the very first chapter I was captured by this book and immediately entered into the world of medieval Britain and into the lives of ordinary people living and working in towns and villages."World Without End" has many of the themes of “pillars of the Earthâ€, but with a new building project being one of the story-lines, Follett makes this book feel fresh and new. This book is a long read and has a thousand plus pages, but the characters are interesting and you get a real sense of their personalities and their lives.You need not have read “Pillars of the Earth†to understand “World Without End†since this book is set two hundred years later and Follett does an exceptional job of referring back to his earlier work. However for those of you that have read and enjoyed “Pillars of the Earthâ€, it is fair to say in my opinion you wi...

The Pillars of the Earth (Paperback)
2007-11-27 16:44:00 With this book, Follett risks all and comes out a clear winner, escaping the narrow genre of suspense thrillers to take credit for a historical novel of gripping readability, authentic atmosphere and detail and memorable characterization. Set in 12th-century England, the narrative concerns the building of a cathedral in the fictional town of Kingsbridge. The ambitions of three men merge, conflict and collide through four decades during which social and political upheaval and the internal politics of the church affect the progress of the cathedral and the fortunes of the protagonists. The insightful portrayals of an idealistic master builder, a pious, dogmatic but compassionate prior and an unscrupulous, ruthless bishop are balanced by those of a trio of independent, resourceful women (one of them quite loathesome) who can stand on their own as memorable characters in any genre. Beginning with a mystery that casts its shadow on ensuing events, the narrative is a seesaw of tension in ...
