The Pillars of the Earthby Ken Follett
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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, KLady 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 Follet's historical masterpiece. Review:"A seesaw of tension...impeccable pacing...action, intrigue, violence and passion....A novel that entertains, instructs and satisfies on a grand scale!" Publishers Weekly Review:"An extraordinary epic buttressed by suspense...a monumental masterpiece...a towering triumph from a major talent!" Booklist Review:"...This will appeal more to lovers of exciting adventure stories than true devotees of historical fiction...." Cynthia Johnson Whealler, Library Journal Review:"A novel of majesty and power....Will hold you, fascinate you, surround you." Chicago Sun-Times Review:"A towering tale...There's murder, arson, treachery, torture, love, and lust...A good time can be had by all." New York Daily News Review:"Touches all human emotions...truly a novel to get lost in."
