DOPO I PILASTRI DELLA TERRA E MONDO SENZA FINE, LA COLONNA DI FUOCO, IL NUOVO GRANDE ROMANZO DELLA SAGA DI KINGSBRIDGE. Gennaio 1558, Kingsbridge. Quando il giovane Ned Willard fa ritorno a casa si rende conto che il suo mondo sta per cambiare radicalmente. Solo la vecchia cattedrale sopravvive immutata, testimone di una città lacerata dal conflitto religioso. Tutti i principi di lealtà, amicizia e amore verranno sovvertiti. Figlio di un ricco mercante protestante, Ned vorrebbe sposare Margery Fitzgerald, figlia del sindaco cattolico della città, ma il loro amore non basta a superare le barriere degli opposti schieramenti religiosi. Costretto a lasciare Kingsbridge, Ned viene ingaggiato da Sir William Cecil, il consigliere di Elisabetta Tudor, futura regina di Inghilterra. Dopo la sua incoronazione, la giovane e determinata Elisabetta I vede tutta l'Europa cattolica rivoltarsi contro di lei, prima tra tutti Maria Stuarda, regina di Scozia. Decide per questo di creare …

Ein Plädoyer für religiöse Toleranz

Follett recycelt mal wieder Kingsbridge und spannt einen Bogen vom Ende der bloody Mary / französischen Rückeroberung von Calais bis zum gunpowder plot. Dabei hangelt er sich entlang der (schwierigen) Liebe und dem Dauerkonflikt einiger Hauptfiguren entlang und streift auch eine Menge historischer Persönlichkeiten. Alles in allem eine klare Aussage zum Thema religiöse Toleranz (auf beiden Seiten!). Hat mich insgesamt nicht völlig weggerissen aber zumindest dazu gebracht, nochmal Fortune de france (R. Merle) rauszuholen.

Review of 'Das Fundament der Ewigkeit' on 'Goodreads'

----------------SPOILERS AHEAD--------------------
Over and all I'm sad that the story of Kingsbridge is over, it was a wonderful story with many characters to remember.

But I have to say the ending was a bit cheap, Sylvie died, just that Follet can make the same ending as in every book in this trilogy. He killed her in a cheap fight with Rollo, so Ned and Margery can marry. I know that in all three books, the story is basically the same, and his books live with the whole world. That does not change that it was a bit annoying to know after the first few pages, how the story will end.

Never the less, a good trilogy and I will definitely recommend the trilogy to friends and other.

Because of the story issue I mentioned above, I'm not sure yet if I will give the prequel a try.
