His celebrated PILLARS OF THE EARTH was voted into the top 100 of Britain's best-loved books in the BBC's the Big Read and the sequel, WORLD WITHOUT END, was published to critical acclaim.

I hope it won’t be the last.Based on Ken Follett's world-bestseller, ‘The Pillars of the Earth’ retells the story of the village of Kingsbridge in a whole new interactive way. “The Evening and the Morning” is a most welcome addition to the Kingsbridge series. The result is a massive entertainment that illuminates an obscure corner of British history with intelligence and great narrative energy. Rape, murder, arson, infanticide and betrayals of every stripe follow one another in relentless succession. Something dramatic, appalling or enraging happens in virtually every chapter.
Map: Erdpyramiden Dorf Tirol / Piramidi di terra Tirolo. Follett presents his worlds in granular detail, but the narratives never stand still. An impressive natural spectacle are the earth pillars near Tirolo Castle and in Caines.
But perhaps the key to Follett’s success is the way in which his gifts as a thriller writer have merged so seamlessly with the larger demands of historical fiction. While the Kingsbridge novels are in no way formulaic, they all rely on common narrative elements, such as multiple alternating story lines, a large cast of characters from all levels of society, the patient accumulation of precise period detail, and specific long-term goals, such as the building of a cathedral or, in “World Without End,” a bridge and hospital.
