Anyone tried The Evening and the Morning, billed as a prequel to Pillars of the Earth? I'm tempted to, but wasn't so keen on the sequels to the original - seemed to be a case of diminishing returns. I'm also put off by the fear of the obligatory rape scene just to show how villainous a villain...

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett tells the story of the building of a cathedral in the fictional English town of Kingsbridge during the 12th century, while two nobles, Stephen and Maud, were feuding for the crown. The story covers a range of characters, from the godly but ambitious prior...

I especially enjoyed Pillars of the Earth (and mostly World Without End), his mediaeval duology (that will soon become a trilogy). I therefore kept in mind that it might be worth checking out some more of his books. Anyway, for some reason I felt like reading something historical set in the...

Apparently, the third book in what is now a series is planned for 2017: http://ken-follett.com/news/140508_us_penguin_rights.html According to Wikipedia, it's set in Kingsbridge during the 16th century, under Elizabeth I: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Follett#Future_project Am definitely...

Pillars of the Earth is available on Netflix, as I've just found out. Really enjoyed the book and am enjoying the TV series so far - though they've changed a few things, I can understand why (not least because a lot of the conflict is internalised within the character POV in the book, something...

I couldn't see a thread for this anywhere so i thought i'd start one. What did people think of the first part? I for one thought it was very well done, i was gutted when it finished as i could have watched the whole thing there and then. I will be honest and say i never finished the book as...

Are there any fans of Ken Follett's, Pillars of the Earth out there. He has just published a sequel set two hundred years later around the time of the Black Death. What I loved about the Pillars was that it had one of the most nastiest bad guys I ever came across in HF.

World without End is the sequal to one of my favorite books "The Pillars of the Earth" - Ken Follett. It is due to be released in October 2007 and I can understand Follett's trepidation in writing a sequel. Pillars is a massive book not only in size but as a brilliant novel. Apparently...

I just wanted to start a thread based on the book Pillars of the Earth. I am hoping others have read this book I am currently reading. I find it most interesting and hard to put down. It seems a very in depth, well researched, and well written historical fiction. I have particularly come to find...
