Set in the turbulent times of twelfth-century England when civil war, famine, religious strife and battles over royal succession tore lives and families apart, «The Pillars of the Earth» tells the story of the building of a magnificent cathedral. Against this richly imagined backdrop, filled with intrigue and treachery, Ken Follett draws the reader irresistibly into a wonderful epic of family drama, violent conflict and unswerving ambition. From humble stonemason to imperious monarch, the dreams, labours and loves of his characters come vividly to life. «The Pillars of the Earth» is, without doubt, a masterpiece -and has proved to be one of the most popular books of our time.

    The most expensive part of a building is the mistakes.
  • Yana Manukhinahas quoted3 years ago
    “Knotty theological questions are the least worrying of problems, to me.”

    “Why?”

    “Because they will all be resolved in the hereafter, and meanwhile they can safely be shelved.”
