Author: Ken Follett is a writer specializing in Welsh historical novels. Its success is due to the quality of historical documentation that meets each time. His art is most evident in "The Pillars of the Earth", 1000 pages, which takes place at the time of the cathedral builders. He insists that his reader is held spellbound from first to last page.His novels are built very well studied and its characters so that no leaves us indifferent.
The story: The challenge of Ken Follet: Telling the twentieth century in three volumes of thousand pages (each of course!). It builds on the fate of several families from different social backgrounds. This first volume is devoted to the First World War.You have probably guessed, the members of each family will be players that will affect the "great history".
Impressions: Ken Follet is undoubtedly a wonderful storyteller. You never get bored one second reading of this impressive volume. The action is rhythmic, precise style.Gentleman is not an amateur ... It is in the tradition of great novelists such as Tolstoy found in the breath combined with the romantic interests of historical accuracy.Eugenio Corti, or as in "red horse", the author tries to make us understand and experience the views and mechanisms that have led each actor and current politics of the time. In this chapter you will become a supporter of Lenin for the next chapter hope that the Russian nobility regain its luster.
Policy and decisions that led to the decoded War are here "as if we were there."History through them thus becomes much more real than in a book with glossy paper and dates to memorize ....
For those who like history and stories.
The bet is won, the second volume strongly !!!!!!
