A medieval epic of love, survival, and ambition in plague-ridden Kingsbridge, two centuries after The Pillars of the Earth.

Περιγραφή

At the heart of World Without End lies the theme of transformation—personal, societal, and spiritual. Follett explores a world on the brink of change, where the devastation of the Black Death alters not only population numbers but social hierarchies, economic systems, and religious beliefs. Characters must adapt to shifting norms as they navigate a society rocked by plague and war.

The novel also delves deeply into the tension between tradition and progress. Women fight to claim their place in a male-dominated world, challenging customs, religious doctrine, and the expectations of their roles in society. Their journeys reflect a broader struggle for personal freedom and justice.

Faith and power are also central to the narrative. Follett examines the corruption and political maneuvering within the Church, contrasting rigid dogma with the genuine spirituality of a few enlightened individuals. Architecture once again plays a symbolic role in Kingsbridge, representing both ambition and legacy, as characters envision and build projects that outlast the chaos of their times.

Above all, this is a story of resilience: of communities and individuals who endure immense hardship—through disease, conflict, betrayal, and love—and emerge changed. It’s a vivid meditation on how crises shape not only the fate of nations but the moral choices of everyday people.
