The Pillars of the Earth

A surprisingly oringal and complex book for Follett

Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Pillars of the Earth (Taschenbuch) The Pillars of the Earth is a surprisingly original and complex book for Ken Follett. Those familiar with his other writings know that his books tend to be much shorter and more formulaic than this one, and, except for The Eye of the Needle, seldom carry much punch. This sparwling novel with a several generations cast of characters has as its central figure, not a person at all, but a building - a gothic cathedral from its inception to completion with a multitude of interrelated stories forming the book's plot.

I don't know how accurate this book is as history or architecture, but I know that it is a very satisfying book as fiction. It is original, in its way, and has the added satisfaction of giving us mulitple stories - each as self contained as a good short story, but all naturally related to the overriding story of the building of the cathedral.

I have recommended this book to many people and have discussed it with many others who had already read it. I have yet to find one who didn't feel that they had had a wonderfully rewarding reading experience with this book.

I highly recommend it.
