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.

评分可以说十分草率了,与圣殿春秋的差距不是一点点,几个兴风作浪的主角居然死得这么容易,瘟疫是最大杀手,却掩盖不了主角的光环,难道梅尔辛幸存之后,以凯瑞丝睿智又深究的性格不应该挖原因吗?拉夫尔杀死了自己的妻子这种入地狱的事,就这么不了了之了,实在莫名其妙;菲利蒙...

评分说是“中世纪三部曲”,其实第三部《永恒火焰》已经是历史定义的中世纪结束后的100多年了;说是“中世纪三部曲”,其实我感觉后两部不过是为了与第一部《圣殿春秋》相应和凑成三部而已。 首先说质量最高的《圣殿春秋》吧,肯.福莱特的写作初衷始于对大教堂的痴迷,沉淀十几年后...
