ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
Ken Follett's "The Pillars of the Earth" is a historical novel set in 12th-century England, where the construction of a magnificent cathedral becomes the central focus of the story. The narrative follows the intertwining lives of various characters, including Tom Builder, a master stonemason, and Prior Philip, the leader of the Kingsbridge priory, who seek to create an architectural masterpiece amidst political and religious turmoil. The story also explores themes of love, loss, ambition, and societal constraints, as characters like Jack and Aliena navigate their complex relationships and struggle against the limitations of their time. The construction of the cathedral serves as a backdrop for tales of power struggles, betrayals, and the resilience of the human spirit, offering a view of the social, political, and religious forces shaping the era.
