  • This review is about a variation of the product

    The beginning of Follett's Century Trilogy. The interest remains constant throughout its reading! The writing is simple but at the same time, Follett, as a historian, knows the science of history, so alongside the enjoyment of a good literary book, we also gain knowledge about significant periods of history.

Description & Specifications

The new magnificent historical epic by Ken Follett follows the story of five families throughout the 20th century... June 22, 1911. As King George V ascends to the throne of Great Britain, Billy Williams, a child from a family of Welsh miners, earns his first wage deep underground...

Love and hate will inevitably connect the Williams family with the aristocratic and powerful Fitzherbert family, who own the mines: Ethel, Billy's sister, falls in love with the Earl of Fitzherbert, breaking moral and class barriers. But Lady Mont, the Earl's sister, also treads on dangerous ground as she is captivated by the intriguing Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German embassy in London...

Their lives will be intertwined with the fate of three more people: Gus Dewar, an ambitious young advisor to the American President, and the Peskov siblings from Russia, whose dream of emigrating to America is lost amidst the tumult of World War I and the October Revolution...

From the dark tunnels of the mines to the illuminated salons of the ruling class, from the battlefields to the corridors of power and the bedrooms of the powerful, from London to Petrograd, Washington, and Paris, Ken Follett weaves an epic novel that can only be compared to his masterpiece, The Pillars of the Earth. The first part of a giant fresh story that depicts the great adventure of the 20th century through the history of its distinct, captivating heroes...
