About this product

Product Information

Ken Follett is known worldwide as the master of split-second suspense, but his most beloved and bestselling book tells the magnificent tale of a twelfth-century monk driven to do the seemingly impossible: build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has ever known.Everything readers expect from Follett is here: intrigue, fast-paced action, and passionate romance. But what makes The Pillars of the Earth extraordinary is the time the twelfth century; the place feudal England; and the subject the building of a glorious cathedral. Follett has re-created the crude, flamboyant England of the Middle Ages in every detail. The vast forests, the walled towns, the castles, and the monasteries become a familiar landscape. Against this richly imagined and intricately interwoven backdrop, filled with the ravages of war and the rhythms of daily life, the master storyteller draws the reader irresistibly into the intertwined lives of his characters into their dreams, their labors, and their loves: Tom, the master builder; Aliena, the ravishingly beautiful noblewoman; Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge; Jack, the artist in stone; and Ellen, the woman of the forest who casts a terrifying curse. From humble stonemason to imperious monarch, each character is brought vividly to life.The building of the cathedral, with the almost eerie artistry of the unschooled stonemasons, is the center of the drama. Around the site of the construction, Follett weaves a story of betrayal, revenge, and love, which begins with the public hanging of an innocent man and ends with the humiliation of a king.At once a sensuous and endearing love story and an epic that shines with the fierce spirit of a passionate age, The Pillars of the Earth is without a doubt Ken Follett's masterpiece."

A lot of work...but worth it.
This is an incredibly well-written book with several compelling parallel and over-lapping storylines. But it is hard to get into. Thank goodness for the audiobook. If I had to carry that dictionary-sized tome and look up every weird medieval word, I doubt I'd pick it up a 2nd time. But the reader is excellent and keeps you hooked into the story - once you FINALLY get hooked. It takes a long time because the author insists on giving every iota of detail possible. By chapter 3 you'll be ready to take an exam for an architecture license... and make bread. Also, the minutiae of Catholic Church politics drove me nuts. I just wanted to get on with it already. I guess the author felt it was needed to set the groundwork. But for Pete's sake! I was up to CD 11 (of 32!!!!)before I cared anything ...

I only kept listening because it was my book club's selection. But now we've already had the book club meeting, I know how things turned out in the story, and I'm STILL listening to the CDs. Once you're hooked - you're in. Follett is a great writer and the reader John Lee does him justice. Just be patient. It's worth it.

An epic work depicting feudal England's tumult.
Ken Follett has easily transitioned from mystery/conspiracy master to epic author. Reading this enabled me to experience the turmoil of Feudal England in a very real way. It is a very long novel, but the evolution of the story always invited me to the next chapter. Spanning over 5 decades, this novel follows an intricately crafted cast of conflicting and conflicted characters. Their feelings and experiences ars revealed in a tale revolving around the construction of a cathedral amid the country's conflicts. Intrigue, trust and deceit, loyalty and betrayal, warring families and factions, collusion and subversion, Churches and kings collide and collaborate. All of these elements carried me to a surprising ending. Ken Follet's "Pillars of the Earth" is rich in character, plot, and detail. A ...

Ken Follett Masters the Art of Story Telling
I could not put this book down! Pillars of the Earth is set in 12th century England -- a world of brutal conflict, cruelty, and depravity. Good and evil are present in stark contrast, no less so than within the Church. Follett tells the story of Tom, a stone mason, whose dream is to be the master builder of a cathedral. The character development is fantastic. I really cared about Tom, Aliena, Prior Philip, Martha and Jack, and I hated and despised Bishop Waleran Bigod, William Hamleigh and his mother, Regan. I found myself constantly thinking the author is a master story teller. I just couldn't wait to find what was going to happen on the next page. I wish it were 5,000 pages instead of only 1,000.I could not put this book down! Pillars of the Earth is set in 12th century England -- a world of brutal conflict, cruelty, and depravity.

AMAZING book!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book!! I can't say enough good about it!! It was fascinating through the whole thing. There were times that I was so tense because of what was happening that I had to stop and breath and then I could continue. The author has the uncanny ability to really make you feel like you are there. He also write in an amazing style where he follows several people's lives, but you are still reading the same story. It was a great adventure and it made me sooo happy when I found out there was another book that follows this one! :) I don't want to stop reading this story!I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book!!
