World Without End (Kingsbridge #2)





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 overwhelmed—“it will hold you, fascinate you, surround you” (Chicago Tribune)—and readers everywhere hoped for a sequel. Look out for the next book in this series, A Column of Fire, available now.

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 crossroads 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 race—the 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.

Assim como seu predecessor, Os pilares da Terra, o Mundo sem fim é sem dúvida uma ótima leitura... Intrigas, maldades, traição, mistérios, corrupção, doença, morte e tudo que há de ruim na humanidade são retratados neste romance histórico com riqueza de detalhes. Em tempos de gripe suína, ler sobre a peste negra foi no mínimo assustador. Só não dei nota 5 por causa do final, com clima de "viveram felizes para sempre" e por causa de alguns exageros da história. Como engenheiro, não p... leia mais
