The Evening and the Morning: The Prequel to The Pillars of the Earth, A Kingsbridge Novel

Product Information

We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed. I also missed the connection to the wider world -- and perhaps that would have been trickier here, since the world is so much smaller for people in southern England of 1000 than it is even 140 years later.

Ragna is appaled at the harsher living conditions in her new home town, the corrupt justice system, and the treatment of slaves.Ken Follet is a true talent, and The Evening and the Morning was an addictive, engrossing, epic experience, that I have no hesitation in recommending. These three main character's lives connect with each other and also with clearly defined people in the locality. Evil seemed to prevail to a disturbing degree and the back/forth plotting was a bit exhausting by the conclusion.

Su principal mérito es la descripción, la recreación, real o ficticia, de la época en la cual se desarrolla: el final de la Alta Edad Media. Aldred is a young monk and hopes to make an ecclesiastical mark while setting up a monastery to help enrich the community. It is a prequel to The Pillars of the Earth set starting in 997 AD, and covering a period in the late Early Middle Ages and under the backdrop of Viking raids, through the year 1007.Ante este derroche de ambientación, el argumento, la historia puede quedar en algún momento algo diluida. I can only hope that patient and determined readers will try this book, as well as the official trilogy, losing themselves in the greatness that is this splendid series. This epic tale of ambition and rivalry is the prequel to Ken Follett's international bestseller The Pillars of the Earth, and the fourth book in his historical fiction series.
