The Kingsbridge trilogy - Ken Follett
The Pillars of the Earth World without End A Column of Fire
KORTE INHOUD
This epic story of 2 families
. begins in the 12h century in England where civil war, famine, religious quarrel and battles over royal succession form the historical background for the building of a great cathedral, next to a priory.
The second book takes us back to the same village and the same families 2 centuries later, when the War of a Hundred Years ravages not only Britain, but a whole continent, and the devastating black death plague brought despair, violence and rawness, but ultimately also the beginning of modern medicine
In "A Column of Fire" the developing saga of the Kingsbridge families continues, but there is a change in the historical setting which evolves in this 16th century around the Tudor throne in a dangerous new world as Europe is in revolt and religious hatred is all over the continent.
My Comment : this trilogy is historical saga of such breadth, density and brilliance in which Ken Follett succeeds in combining hugeness and detail and creates a historic novel imbued with love and hat...
