The Pillars of the Earth is set against a
backdrop of war, religious strife and power struggles which tears lives
and families apart. In that time, there rises a magnificent Cathedral in
Kingsbridge. Against the backdrop, love-stories entwine: Tom, the
master builder, Aliena, the noblewoman, the sadistic Lord William,
Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge, Jack, the artist in stone work and
Ellen, the woman from the forest who casts a curse. At once, this is a
sensuous and enduring love story and an epic that shines with the fierce
spirit of a passionate age. Follett masterfully weaves these stories
through political turmoil of 12th century England, creating a relevant
and viable world for today's audience and for generations to come.
