Description
Set against the sprawling medieval landscape of twelfth-century England, this epic tale follows ambition, anarchy and the struggle for absolute power. In 1135, civil war, famine and religious conflict abound, while mason Tom Builder, whose family is close to starvation, dreams of using his talents to create a cathedral like no other. Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, is resourceful, but with money scarce he knows that his town must find a way to thrive, and decides to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has ever known. When Tom and Philip meet, an epic struggle begins in a world of high ideals and savage cruelty, where enemies threaten their plans and church clashes with state, brother with brother, and good with evil. The Pillars of the Earth is the first novel in the Kingsbridge series, followed by World Without End and A Column of Fire.
