by Ken Follett (Author)

Vuelve el mejor Follett con la emocionante quinta entrega de la saga «Los pilares de la Tierra .

El choque de progreso y tradición y una guerra que amenaza con engullir toda

Europa en la más ambiciosa y épica novela del maestro de la ficción histórica.


La revolución está en el aire
1792. Un gobierno tiránico está decidido a convertir Inglaterra en un poderoso imperio comercial. Mientras, Napoleón Bonaparte comienza su ambicioso ascenso al poder y, en medio de un gran descontento social, los vecinos de Francia se mantienen en máxima alerta.

Kingsbridge se asoma al abismo
Las innovaciones industriales se imponen de manera implacable, sacudiendo las vidas de los trabajadores de las prósperas fábricas textiles de Kingsbridge. Se abre un mundo de nuevas y liberadoras oportunidades ligado, sin embargo, a la crueldad más despiadada. La rápida modernización con sus flamantes pero peligrosas maquinarias están dejando obsoletos muchos trabajos y desgarrando a las familias.

Una nueva tiranía surge en el horizonte
Y a medida que el estallido de un conflicto internacional parece cada vez más cerca, la historia de un pequeño grupo de personas de Kingsbridge --incluidos la hilandera Sal Clitheroe, el tejedor David Shoveller y Kit, el ingenioso y decidido hijo de Sal-- se convertirá en el símbolo de la lucha de toda una generación que desea progresar y pelea por un futuro sin opresión...

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The long-awaited sequel to A Column of Fire, The Armor of Light heralds a new dawn for Kingsbridge, England, where progress clashes with tradition, class struggles push into every part of society, and war in Europe engulfs the entire continent and beyond.

The Spinning Jenny was invented in 1770, and with that, a new era of manufacturing and industry changed lives everywhere within a generation. A world filled with unrest wrestles for control over this new world order: A mother's husband is killed in a work accident due to negligence; a young woman fights to fund her school for impoverished children; a well-intentioned young man unexpectedly inherits a failing business; one man ruthlessly protects his wealth no matter the cost, all the while war cries are heard from France, as Napoleon sets forth a violent master plan to become emperor of the world. As institutions are challenged and toppled in unprecedented fashion, ripples of change ricochet through our characters' lives as they are left to reckon with the future and a world they must rebuild from the ashes of war.

Over thirty years ago, Ken Follett published his most popular novel, The Pillars of the Earth. Now, with this electrifying addition to the Kingsbridge series, we are plunged into the battlefield between compassion and greed, love and hate, progress and tradition. It is through each character that we are given a new perspective to the seismic shifts that shook the world in nineteenth-century Europe.

Author Biography

Ken Follett nació en Cardiff (Gales) y a los diez años su familia se trasladó a la capital británica. Realizó sus estudios en distintas escuelas públicas antes de licenciarse con honores en Filosofía en el University College de Londres. Comenzó su carrera como periodista en el periódico de su ciudad natal, el South Wales Echo, y luego trabajó en el London Evening News. Posteriormente se incorporó a una pequeña editorial, Everest Books, de la que terminó siendo director adjunto. Su primer gran éxito literario llegó en 1978 con la publicación de El ojo de la aguja, un thriller de espionaje ambientado en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. .

Ken Follett es uno de los autores más queridos y admirados por los lectores de todo el mundo, y las ventas de sus libros superan los ciento setenta y ocho millones de ejemplares. En 1989 publicó Los pilares de la Tierra, el épico relato de la construcción de una catedral medieval del que se han vendido veintisiete millones de ejemplares y que se ha convertido en su novela más popular. Su continuación, Un mundo sin fin, se publicó en 2007, y en 2017 vio la luz Una columna de fuego, que transcurre en la Inglaterra del siglo XVI, durante el reinado de Isabel I. En 2020 llegó a las librerías la aclamada precuela de la saga, Las tinieblas y el alba, que se remonta al año 1000, cuando Kingsbridge era un asentamiento anglosajón bajo la amenaza de los invasores vikingos.

Follett, que ama la música casi tanto como los libros, es un gran aficionado a tocar el bajo. Vive en Stevenage, Hertfordshire, con su esposa Barbara, exparlamentaria laborista por su circunscripción. Entre los dos tienen cinco hijos, seis nietos y dos perros labradores.
