About the book
The Pillars of the Earth is the story of Philip, Prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the world's greatest Gothic cathedral... of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect—a man divided in his soul... of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame... and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state and brother against brother. Ken Follett's historical masterwork is a riveting epic tale of ambition, chaos, and ultimate power set against the huge mediaeval canvas of twelfth-century England.
