Ken Follett has 90 million readers worldwide. "The Pillars of the Earth" is his bestselling book of all time. Now, eighteen years after the publication of "The Pillars of the Earth," Ken Follett has written the most-anticipated sequel of the year, "World Without End." In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world with "The Pillars of the Earth," a sweeping epic novel set in twelfth-century England centered on the building of a cathedral and many of the hundreds of lives it affected. Critics were overwhelmedit will hold you, fascinate you, surround you ("Chicago Tribune")and readers everywhere hoped for a sequel. "World Without End" takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building the exquisite Gothic cathedral that was at the heart of "The Pillars of the Earth," The cathedral and the priory are again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge, but this sequel stands on its own. This time the men and women of an extraordinary cast of characters find themselves at a crossroad of new ideas about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In a world where proponents of the old ways fiercely battle those with progressive minds, the intrigue and tension quickly reach a boiling point against the devastating backdrop of the greatest natural disaster ever to strike the human racethe Black Death. Three years in the writing, and nearly eighteen years since its predecessor, "World Without End" breathes new life into the epic historical novel and once again shows that Ken Follett is a masterful author writing at the top of his craft.

评分从《巨人的陨落》开始, 我就一直在读这位作家的书, 起初读这本书的时候我怀疑过腰封上宣传的词, 平均三个通宵读完, 老实讲我是一个坚决不会熬夜的人,觉得有趣的事情太多, 占用睡眠的时间却会造成第二天精神状态不好。 出于好奇心开始读这部大部头的小说, 然而里面描写的...
