Title: The Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follett - 2011 - book Summary : In 12th-century England, ravaged by war and famine, people fight to secure power, glory, sanctity, love, or simply the means to survive. Battles are fierce, chances are prodigious, nature is cruel. Frescoes are painted with swords, destinies are carved with axes, and cathedrals are built with miracles... and holy tricks. Hatred reigns, but so does love, constantly battered, sometimes wounded, but finally victorious when a God, often too distracted, consents to be touched by the faith of men. Leaving behind the world of espionage, Ken Follett, the master of suspense, delivers with The Pillars of the Earth a monumental work whose plot, with its incessant twists and turns, is based on extraordinary historical work. Taken from hangings to murders, from the English forests to the heart of Andalusia, from Tours to Saint-Denis, the reader finds himself irresistibly caught up in the whirlwind of a superb romantic epic that he wishes had no end.
