About this product

Product Information

If you liked the Century Trilogy, you'll love the "extraordinary . . . monumental masterpiece" ( Booklist ) that changed the course of Ken Follett's already phenomenal career. "Follett risks all and comes out a clear winner," extolled  Publishers Weekly  on the release of  The Pillars of the Earth . A departure for the bestselling thriller writer, the historical epic stunned readers and critics alike with its ambitious scope and gripping humanity. Today, it stands as a testament to Follett's unassailable command of the written word and to his universal appeal.    The Pillars of the Earth  tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known . . . of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect--a man divided in his soul . . . of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame . . . and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state and brother against brother.   A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, this is Ken Follett's historical masterpiece.

    Excellent.

    This is the second time I am reading this book. First time was a small paperback, small print, almost went blind trying to read it. Book has history, it’s compelling, informative.

  • Some can make a career out of building churches

    Overall, this story is very good and captivating, and his writing is outstanding and so descriptive, you feel like you are watching this story unfold right in front of your eyes. It's hard to put this book down until it's finished. One thing though, and I agree with another reviewer, is that Follett repeats himself a lot, about the description of people, the churches, acts of violence, etc. I dont know if Follett was trying to stretch out his book, or he is the kind of people that repeat things they say (you know, like old people who say things or ask questions over and over again). Like most stories, this one has some holes too. You don't get to them until the very last chapter, and if you are like me who read the whole book in one stretch (your memory is still fresh of all the details ...

  • Great books!

    I read the 1st book in the series years ago. Then I found out there was a series so I purchased all 3 so I could read the 1st one again and then read the other 2. Both of my grown daughters want to read them when I’m done.

  • You are there...A walk through the English countryside

    Ken Follett is a historian by training. He put that love for detail to excellent use in his earlier writings such as "Eye of the Needle" or "Hornet Flight," both suspenseful and excitement-full stories. In "Pillars of the Earth," Follett reaches back to the twelfth century, to what life was like surrounding the origins of the grand cathedrals of Europe. The narrative is paced, awkwardly at first, as if you were actually conversing with the inhabitants of those living the hard life of the day. The descriptions of the food ("horse bread"), bedding (a thin pile of damp straw), and the very names (Tom Builder, a stone mason hired to help "build") evoke a feeling of what life was like. You feel you are right there beside the characters. Life was hard back then, risky, and you grind your ...

  • the pillars of the earth

    I am enjoying reading this book, two reasons why i bought this book is because it is based in england and based around stonemasons, I am from england, been in canada just 4 years, and i also am a stonemason by trade, so i can relate to all this book, it is a great view into early english history, it is easy to read nothing complicated, a book you find hard to put down.
