| | | In 1989, Follett astonished the literary world with "The Pillars of the Earth," a sweeping epic novel set in 12th-century England that centers on the building of a cathedral, and the hundreds of lives it affects. This sequel takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries later.
Annotation:
Eighteen years after the publication of THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH, bestselling author Ken Follet has finally crafted the long-anticipated sequel. WORLD WITHOUT END returns to the town of Knightsbridge, but nearly two centuries have passed. The glorious Gothic cathedral featured in PILLARS OF THE EARTH once again serves as the backdrop for this sweeping historical tale of people at the dawn of a new age.
| Praise| "A lively entertainment for fans of The Once and Future King, The Lord of the Rings and other multilayered epics." |
| Author Bio| Ken Follett | | Ken Follett attended University College, London, where he graduated in 1970 with a B.A. in philosophy.
