Written over 30 years ago and set in historical order, we are delighted to have the big quality 2023 Pan Books paperback reprints of The Evening and the Morning, The Pillars of the Earth, World Without End and A Column of Fire. The first novel is set in a time of conflict, 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages. The king's grip on the country is fragile, and chaos reigns. A young boat builder dreams of a better future after a devastating Viking raid shatters the life he hoped for. A Norman noblewoman follows her husband to a new land only to find life there shockingly different, and a capable monk at Shiring Abbey has a vision of transforming his humble home into a centre of learning admired throughout Europe. Now with England at the dawn of the Middle Ages, these three people will each come into dangerous conflict with a ruthless bishop, who will do anything to increase his wealth and power, in an epic tale of ambition, rivalry, love and hate. Follett's masterpiece of historical writing begins here. Chunky 914 page paperback.
