Follett takes you to a time long past with brio and razor-sharp storytelling. An epic tale in which you will lose yourself."

-The Denver Post on World Without End

Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep, beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics as "well-researched, beautifully detailed [with] a terrifically compelling plot" ( The Washington Post ) and "wonderful history wrapped around a gripping story" ( St. Louis Post- Dispatch )

Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families-American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh-as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

Thirteen-year-old Billy Williams enters a man's world in the Welsh mining pits...Gus Dewar, an American law student rejected in love, finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson's White House...two orphaned Russian brothers, Grigori and Lev Peshkov, embark on radically different paths half a world apart when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution...Billy's sister, Ethel, a housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts, takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German embassy in London...

These characters and many others find their lives inextricably entangled as, in a saga of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, Fall of Giants moves seamlessly from Washington to St. Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty. As always with Ken Follett, the historical background is brilliantly researched and rendered, the action fast-moving, the characters rich in nuance and emotion. It is destined to be a new classic.

In future volumes of The Century Trilogy, subsequent generations of the same families will travel through the great events of the rest of the twentieth century, changing themselves-and the century itself. With passion and the hand of a master, Follett brings us into a world we thought we knew, but now will never seem the same again.

读后感

有人拿这本书和《战争风云》比,认为文笔比战争风云只差一点点,我虽然不知道此君对文笔的评价标准是什么,不过从我的视角来看,我会说这书比《战争风云》起码强三倍,因为笔力和人物架构根本不在一个层次。 《战争风云》虽然同样是让虚构的主角经历真实的历史事件,去经历撼动世界...

相比于它“平均三天三夜读完”的宣传,书本身要逊色很多。读完之后让我觉得它的宣传有点恶心。书本身格局很大,本可以成为《战争与和平》那样地位的作品,可惜作者没有完全驾驭住。描写一战但书中正面描写战场的篇章却少的可怜,对士兵心理的描写也不让人信服。各个人物政治立...

蒸汽机的应用带来了人类生产力的前所未有发展,工业革命产生的巨额财富支撑起日不落帝国。英王乔治五世加冕让帝国一片欢腾,海晏河清的政局和欣欣向荣的国运犹如巨人的守护。大英帝国坚不可摧。1911年夏天,一切都遵循着英国贵族的预想有条不紊的朝着既定方向发展。肯·福莱特...

看完这部口碑爆棚的小说,感觉好像并没有期待的那么好,也没有特别能打动我的人物和情节,觉得原因可能有几点:1、人物比较脸谱化。本书是以一战为背景,描述几个家族及其核心人物的命运沉浮,但人物性格在战前战后并没有多大改变,好的还是好,坏的还是坏,对人性描写浮于表面...

评分

故事讲的是第一次世界大战,当然就战争故事来说,他的节奏太快了(这里我要安利写二战的小说《战争与回忆》系列,看的比较从容),节奏快的会感觉不太经看,我本来做好了这么厚三本我可以玩半个月的准备(因为我只在上下班地铁和躺床的时候才看书),后来几天就结束了,怅然若...

一开始很不错。到一战了,和战事一样,拖得太长,读到生厌。还是没有the pillars of the earth好。

太精彩了!Will never look at WWI, Russia's revolution, or women's suffrage in the same way ever again。将近1000页都是看小说学历史的典范。后两本在欧洲一边旅行一边读就太开心了!

好看到放不下来,还可以顺便学习历史。对女性人物的刻画尤其精彩。哪位大大去把改编权买下来吧,这题材和构思翻拍成迷你剧再合适不过了。
