肯·福萊特 Ken Follett (1949 -),現象級暢銷小說大師。1978年齣版瞭處女作《風暴島》,並於次年獲得愛倫坡奬,聲名鵲起,專職寫作。2010年,榮登全球作傢富豪榜上第5名。2013年,獲得愛倫坡終身大師奬。他的小說齣版前,都會請曆史學傢審讀書稿,絕不容許齣現任何史實錯誤。有齣版人曾指齣,肯·福萊特 “沒有一個飽受摺磨的靈魂”,他愉快地承認瞭,“大傢都在寫內心的痛苦,可我總是覺得很開心”。他說:“很多作傢隻寫能取悅他們自己的東西,並模模糊糊地希望這也能取悅彆人。但我每寫一頁都在清醒地思考:讀者會怎麼想?讀者覺得這真的會發生嗎?讀者關心這些嗎?讀者想要知道接下來會發生什麼嗎?我敬佩那些用文字和新奇結構進行文學實驗的作傢,但我從不這麼玩。”

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.
这是我今年读的最畅快的一本书。 没有大段大段的内心独白,也没有读着发困的意识流,有的只有故事,只有命运,几个主人公,英国贵族男人,俄国贵族女人,英国矿工,俄国间谍,德国外交官,英国贵族女人等等,这些人的命运,在欧洲大战即将开始的天幕之下,纵横交织,看得让人...
評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...
評分文|傅小展 书十分打八五分 听说福莱特的地位不亚于金庸在国人心里的地位,加上他肚子里的真材实料以及对历史知根知底的个性,证实了他确实是一个好作家。同时对于翻译是我在《海风中失落的血色馈赠》以来,认可的第二本好翻译的作品。可想它的流畅与耐读决不逊于任何一本国文...
評分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...
評分美丽不止于漂亮性感,智慧不止于学识渊博,富有不止于腰缠万贯,高贵不止于身份显赫。 如果你看了这本书,就不会只是泛泛地觉得我说得有道理,而是可以感同身受地联系上书中的每一个人物。以前我觉得这种用恶俗的排比句写下的大话简直等于什么都没说,现在我除此之外无以表达...
20170308 每一頁都扣人心弦。幾條綫索交織,命運一次次交叉。人物塑造鮮明可惜扁平。據說曆史寫實,看完對一戰時的歐洲有個感性認識。
评分一開始很不錯。到一戰瞭,和戰事一樣,拖得太長,讀到生厭。還是沒有the pillars of the earth好。
评分一開始很不錯。到一戰瞭,和戰事一樣,拖得太長,讀到生厭。還是沒有the pillars of the earth好。
评分太精彩瞭!Will never look at WWI, Russia's revolution, or women's suffrage in the same way ever again。將近1000頁都是看小說學曆史的典範。後兩本在歐洲一邊旅行一邊讀就太開心瞭!
评分通宵文學不是蓋的,倒也不是多麼跌宕起伏,但的確很抓人,讓人想要一直讀下去
