Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In 1989, Ken Follett captivated readers with a sweeping epic set in twelfth-century England, centered on the construction of a cathedral and its impact on the lives of many. The sequel, set two hundred years later in Kingsbridge, revisits the town after the completion of the stunning Gothic cathedral. This new narrative unfolds around an extraordinary cast of characters navigating a landscape filled with love, hate, greed, pride, ambition, and revenge. As they confront a crossroads of new ideas regarding medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice, the tension escalates amid a fierce struggle between traditionalists and progressives. The story is further intensified by the looming threat of the Black Death, the greatest natural disaster in human history. Crafted over three years and nearly eighteen years after its predecessor, this sequel offers a richly detailed portrayal of the late Middle Ages, showcasing Follett's mastery as an author. This well-researched narrative invites readers to explore the complexities of the era and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
