El gran maestro de la narrativa de acción y suspense nos transporta a la Edad Media, a un fascinante mundo de reyes, damas, caballeros, pugnas feudales, castillos y ciudades amuralladas. El amor y la muerte se entrecruzan vibrantemente en este magistral tapiz cuyo centro es la construcción de una catedral gótica. La historia se inicia con el ahorcamiento público de un inocente y finaliza con la humillación de un rey. Los pilares de la Tierra es la obra maestra de Ken Follet y constituye una excepcional evocación de una época de violentas pasiones.
Follet does am amazing job of world building and recreating history. This was one of the first books where I was genuinely sad to finish, as it meant I had to say goodbye to the characters.
It’s a long time since I struggled to put a book down. More than once I just had to continue reading into the early hours to find out what happened next.
This book was a roller coaster of emotions and events that highlighted the violence, greed, passions, revenge of the main protagonists. It also really portrayed the ebb and flow of power and influence that royalty and religion had against each other, as well as the poor peasants who were caught in the middle.
A really enjoyable read and I can see why this book is one of Ken Follett’s all time best sellers.
It's been sometime since I read this but I read it at least 4 times. Great story.
