This is one of my favorite books. It is maybe the longest book that I have ever read but it was worth every single
word. I like medieval stories but this book took me right to the
medieval Europe in XIV century. The characters in the book are very well
described and created that at some point I wanted to enter the story
myself and deal with bad ones my way and help the good ones. The
medieval life and customs are very good described and historically
accurate. If you have time I strongly recommend this book written by Ken
Follett.
Part of the book:
On the day after Halloween, in the year 1327, four children slip away
from the cathedral city of Kingsbridge. They are a thief, a bully, a boy
genius and a girl who wants to be a doctor. In the forest they see two
men killed. As adults, their lives will be braided together by ambition,
love, greed and revenge. They will see prosperity and famine, plague
and war. One boy will travel the world but come home in the end; the
other will be a powerful, corrupt nobleman. One girl will defy the might
of the medieval church; the other will pursue an impossible love. And
always they will live under the long shadow of the unexplained killing
they witnessed on that fateful childhood day. Ken Follett's masterful
epic "The Pillars of the Earth" enchanted millions of readers with its
compelling drama of war, passion and family conflict set around the
building of a cathedral. Now "World Without End" takes readers back to
medieval Kingsbridge two centuries later, as the men, women and children
of the city once again grapple with the devastating sweep of historical
change.
