Look for Classics
I'm tired of reading online novels, so I look for those classics that are very good and profound, and can inspire people a lot.

Foreign Masterpieces, Preferably Classical and Romantic Ones!
I want to read a book similar to "A Tale of Two Cities (Classic World Masterpiece)".

Follett is like a great costume designer, using his skillful hand to vividly depict the close-ups of each character from all walks of life, and using them as threads to string together the shadows of the war-torn and fragmented era. Readers seem to dream back to the era of world war, feeling the footsteps of giants, witnessing their decline, and the emergence of a new world. The cold words in history textbooks have warmth at this moment, making the cry of this great historical moment truly echo in our ears.
The author used extremely simple narration to bring me into the book step by step, which made me unable to put it down. The more I read, the more reluctant I was to let go! And the scenes in the book appear before your eyes as if they were real!
It's okay, but it's an epic novel, but it's not very friendly to Chinese people.
If you are a reader who loves literature and is somewhat interested in world history, then this book is definitely worth reading! The grand historical picture, the vast scenes, and the wonderful storyline make it really hard to put down when reading it! Thanks to author Ken Follett for providing spiritual food to all readers!
Every character, every family, and even every nation is destined to be cannon fodder under the general historical trend. Without the right to choose too much, what kind of environment will shape you.
I initially thought that The Fall of Giants was about depicting a man's heroic moments, his growth and failure. In the end, I found that it is a story of an era. The characters of different classes grew up in the background of this era. The psychological descriptions are also very delicate. The characters are vividly three-dimensional and different in their own way. Each character is imperfect, has their own shortcomings and advantages, and each is taking the path they think is right.
It's a book that makes you want to keep reading. The fate of each character in the book is fascinating, especially the two women in the book, Ethel and Ledé, who dare to break the convention and fight for women's rights. They bravely pursue the life they want and never give up when encountering setbacks. As a woman, I am moved by them.
Different countries and different classes have different fates. World War I caused conflicts at different levels in various countries, which could only be transferred through war. The war has brought unbearable burdens to the people at the bottom.
For example, the Welsh miner boy, whose courage and growth moved me very much. Moreover, the fate of the five families is intertwined, which made me feel the grandeur of the 20th century. I really couldn't stop reading it and I finished it in one sitting! Recommended!
No one rated it? Then I will be the first one (*^ω^*)
Why no one is watching
The history of World War I? The interweaving of big history and big and small characters is written more thoughtfully.
G1 ends, G2 begins
It is a grand epic that needs to be read carefully and calmly. Multi-line narrative is a test of skill, and it also raises the reading threshold of readers.
It's wonderful, objectively showing the face of the world in the early 19th century and the cruelty of World War I.
Such a book is so beautiful
I read it in one go, it's great
Needless to say, great!
It reflects that the mine board of directors lacks safety protection and leaves nothing to do.

The content is exciting and very beautiful. Like it very much
