The Evening and the Morning

The Prequel to The Pillars of the Earth, A Kingsbridge Novel

Beschreibung

Praise for the Kingsbridge novels 'A historical saga of such breadth and density . . . Follett succeeds brilliantly in combining hugeness and detail to create a novel imbued with the rawness, violence and blind faith of the era' Sunday Express 'Where Follett excels is in telling a yarn . . . you won't be able to put it down' Independent 'Follett's storytelling skills make their adventures riveting' The Times 'The characters, both fictional and real, are fascinating, and the Tudor period setting holds its own special allure. This is a novel that fans of historical fiction will savour and cherish' National 'This is a huge book in every way, sweeping and yet detailed, a powerful story packed with superbly drawn characters' Choice Magazine 'Enormous and brilliant . . . this mammoth tale seems to touch all human emotion - love and hate, loyalty and treachery, hope and despair . . . This is truly a novel to get lost in' Cosmopolitan 'A highly enjoyable tale . . . this book evokes its period brilliantly' Sunday Times

Autor

Ken Follett was born in Cardiff, Wales. Barred from watching films and television by his parents, he developed an early interest in reading thanks to a local library. After studying philosophy at University College London, he became involved in centre-left politics, entering into journalism soon after. His first thriller, the wartime spy drama Eye of the Needle, became an international bestseller and has sold over 10 million copies. He then astonished everyone with his first historical novel, The Pillars of the Earth, the story of the building of a medieval cathedral, which went on to become one of the most beloved books of the twentieth century. One of the most popular authors in the world, his many books, including the Kingsbridge series and the Century trilogy, have sold more than 178 million copies. A father and husband, Ken lives with his wife in England and enjoys travelling the world when he can.
