Reader comments
Very nice! The emotion is delicate and touching!
There is a temple in everyone's heart, which is a dream, an ideal, or a person. How many spring and autumn years have been covered with dust, how many people no longer remember, how many people wake up from a dream, and how many people never give up.
The most moving thing in the book is the brilliance of humanity bursting out against the dark background. Tom sticks to his ingenuity for "beauty close to God", Alena was brutalized but did not give in, Jack traveled across the ocean for true love and ideals, and Philip protected his original intention between principles and reality. These "passers-by in court dramas" used work and love to fight against the troubled times, proving that it was never the emperors and generals who supported history, but the tenacious hands of millions of ordinary people. As the book says, all life will eventually disappear, but the creation of beauty and the persistence of justice will pierce the darkness like a church spire and become an immortal "song".
The writing style of this book is very attractive, and the story has ups and downs, making people feel like they are actually there. The author's writing style is also very vivid, and the characters are vividly portrayed. I especially like the description of the builder in the book. I was very touched by his persistence in his dream. This book made me understand the history and culture of that era. It is really worth reading!
It's very interesting. I finally finished watching it.
It just doesn't translate well
This is a fate. The church was destroyed by Jack's hands, but it was finally restored to glory by Jack's hands.
This may be the first true group portrait I have ever read. Looking at the character relationship diagram and recalling the whole process, I can't find a protagonist (they are all protagonists).
Historical novels let me understand Britain in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Very vividly written.
A very wonderful novel. Magnificent Medieval Picture Scroll
