Ken Follett is known worldwide as the master of split-second suspense, but his most beloved and bestselling book tells the magnificent tale of a twelfth-century monk driven to do the seemingly impossible: build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has ever known.

A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, The Pillars of the Earth is the first book in the 'Kingsbridge' series and Ken Follett’s historical masterpiece.

"A towering triumph from a major talent, The Pillars of the Earth is an extraordinary epic buttressed by suspense, and a mystifying puzzle full of romance, rivalry, and spectacle." -- Booklist
