The Century Trilogy - Bogserien

Ken Follett's number one bestselling Century trilogy of novels follows the fate of five intertwined families from across the globe - American, German, Russian, English and Welsh - throughout the twentieth century. The historical trilogy begins with Fall of Giants, which encompasses the Russian revolution, the suffragette movement and the First World War, with richly portrayed characters. The second novel, Winter of the World, continues the journey through the Spanish Civil War, the rise of the Nazis and the ensuing tragedy of the Second World War. The story concludes in Edge of Eternity where the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis bring the world to the brink of oblivion - sweeping from the 1960s to the 1980s, the families experience the enormous social, political and economic turmoil of the era through the Civil Rights movement, the construction of the Berlin Wall and the Vietnam War. Ken Follett is also the author of the phenomenally popular Kingsbridge novels, including The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End.
