Narrator John Lee
The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and
resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known...
of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect - a man divided in his soul... of the beautiful,
elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame... and of a struggle between good and evil...
treachery and intrigue, violence and beauty that will turn church against state, and brother
against brother. This sensuous, spirited and passionate story is set against a backdrop of
war, religious strife and power struggles which tears lives and families apart. In that time,
there rises a magnificent Cathedral in Kingsbridge. A spellbinding epic tale of ambition,
anarchy, and absolute power, set against the sprawling medieval canvas of 12th-century
England, this is Ken Follett's historical masterpiece
