European and American readers spend an average of three nights reading it! The landmark masterpiece of Ken Follett, the author of "The Fall of Giants", the sequel to "The Temple of Spring and Autumn", and the second part of the medieval trilogy. This novel lets everyone know that we have the ability to transcend the mundane and touch the eternal.
England, fourteenth century, an old era is about to end, and a new era is about to come.
In Wangqiao Town, the descendants of architects have their own troubles. Behind the pain of growing up are the pains of an era: the Renaissance, church architecture, royal power struggles, the Black Death, church conflicts...
What will be their fate?
A story with a broader layout than "Temple Spring and Autumn"!
Reader comments
The historical background and medieval life are very real. The author must have spent a lot of time and energy. Thank you Mr. Ken Follett, thank you for the translation, and thank you for the good reading software that allows us to spend our spare time reading after busy work. I hope more good books will be put on the shelves for the convenience of people who love reading.
The writing is very attractive and the plot turns around quickly.
An epic poem, a majestic scroll; rushing towards you, huge waves...
The story of this book is so exciting! The characters strive to pursue their true love in the tide of the times, and their actions are real and touching. The historical background and plot development in the book are closely integrated, making me feel like I am immersed in the scene. I particularly like the courage and persistence of the protagonist. He does not give up in the face of difficulties and strives to pursue his own happiness. This book made me believe that true love is worth fighting for. Highly recommended!
Although this book is long, it is rich in content. Through the life experiences of several partners from childhood to adulthood, a grand picture of historical changes is presented. The details are wonderfully described and the details are appropriate. That is to say, I see the stupid and kind side of human nature, and I also see the cunning and evil side of human nature. I also read the pace of human civilization from the book. Caris's intelligence and kindness, Gwenda's brave persistence, and Mersin's persistent pursuit all left a deep impression on people.
Ken Follett's books will attract you from the first sentence, and then you won't want to stop reading.
Compared with the Century Trilogy, this novel is just a little smaller. The content is equally magnificent and exciting! In the gripping story, it shows us medieval England, showing every scene and vivid character of that era! I want to read Ken Follett's books one after another to enrich my barren spiritual world.
The end is the time to show your skills
I have always liked Ken Follett's works, and it certainly lived up to my expectations.
The storyline has climaxes one after another, the characters have outstanding personalities, and you can see different humanities
The detailed descriptions are great. Read this book if you want to see how Westerners view their own history.
I like to use "ta", but I often don't understand it.
Mind-blowing [cool]
Very good
worth reading
Understand the British life, thinking and behavior.
All three parts are very good
I feel that everything that happened is very natural, and it's explained in a smooth way.
As soon as I started reading this book, I was attracted... This is the charm of famous books... I will continue to read it seriously. Thanks to the platform for recommending this book to me. Thanks!
A good book with great connotation. It is not just about intrigues in Chinese literature. In addition to intrigues, it also includes a lot of science and art. This is the biggest difference between the West and the East.
A good book, easy to understand and with a wonderful plot.
The story has twists and turns and the characters are rich
The true expression of human nature, in the spiritual entanglement of darkness and sunshine, is to take God as the yardstick, and suffering is always a new journey of progress. The freedom to pursue a perfect life is always the focus.
