Ken Follett is known worldwide as the master of split-second suspense, but his most beloved and bestselling book tells the magnificent tale of a twelfth-century monk driven to do the seemingly impossible: build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has ever known.
A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, The Pillars of the Earth is the first book in the 'Kingsbridge' series and Ken Follett’s historical masterpiece.
"A historical novel of gripping readability, authentic atmosphere, and memorable characterization." -- Publishers Weekly
