Vier kinderen - een dievegge, een pestkop, een geniaal joch en een meisje dat dokter wil worden - knijpen er tussenuit na de mis in de kathedraal van Kingsbridge.

  • "Der Weltbestseller geht weiter! Liebe und Hass, Stolz und Gier, Ehrgeiz und Rache im Schatten der Kathedrale: Ken Follett kehrt an den Schauplatz seines Welterfolgs zurück - mit der langersehnten Fortsetzung von "Die Säulen der Erde"! 1327: Vier junge Menschen versuchen in England ihr Glück zu machen: Der rebellische Merthin, ein Nachfahre des grossen Baumeisters Jack. Sein Bruder Ralph, der in den Ritterstand aufstrebt. Das Mädchen Caris, das sich nach Freiheit sehnt. Und Gwenda, die Tochter eines Taglöhners, die nur der Liebe folgen will. Und da ist noch Godwyn, ein aufstrebender Mönch, der nur ein Ziel vor Augen hat: Er will Prior der Abtei von Kingsbridge werden - um jeden Preis! 6 Jahre lang hielt sich der erste Teil "Säulen der Erde" in den deutschen Bestsellerlisten. Ein echtes Jahrhundertwerk. Für Ken Follett, dessen Stil von der Welt am Sonntag als "klar und treffsicher" gelobt wurde, ein voller Erfolg. Seine Leidenschaft für das Schreiben, der sich Ken Follett zunächst nur an Abenden und Wochenenden widmete, wurde damit von Erfolg gekrönt. "Ein episches, magisches, historisches Meisterwerk!" BamS."
