  • "Ken Follett's magnificent new historical epic begins, as five interrelated families move through the momentous dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage. A thirteen-year-old Welsh boy enters the mining pits. An American law student rejected in love finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson's White House. A housekeeper for the Fitzherberts takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert falls in love with a German spy. And two orphaned Russian brothers embark on radically different paths. Fall of Giants takes five families into a century we thought we knew, but that will never seem the same again."

Eine Familie aus England zwischen dem Aufstieg der Arbeiter und dem Niedergang des Adels. Und zwei Brüder aus Russland, von denen der eine zum Revolutionär wird, während der andere in der Fremde sein Glück sucht. Ihre Schicksale verflechten sich vor dem Hintergrund eines heraufziehenden Sturmes, der die alten Mächte hinwegfegen und die Welt in ihren Grundfesten erschüttern wird."
  • "The Williams family is connected by romance and enmity to the Fitzherberts, aristocratic coal-mine owners. Lady Maud Fitzherbert falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German embassy in London. Their destiny is entangled with that of Gus Dewar, ambitious young aide to U.S. President Woodrox Wilson. Two orphaned Russian brothers soon become involved, but Grigori and Lev Peshkov's plan to emigrate to America falls foul of war, conscription and revolution. - Quatrième de couverture."
