Description
1135, and civil war, famine, and religious strife abound. With his family on the verge of starvation, mason Tom Builder dreams of the day when he can use his talents to create and build a cathedral like no other.
Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge, is resourceful, but with money scarce, he knows that for his town to survive, it must find a way to thrive. So, he makes the decision to build within it the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has ever known.
As Tom and Philip meet, an epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power begins. In a world beset by strife and enemies that would thwart their plans, they will stop at nothing to achieve their ambitions. It's a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state and brother against brother.
The Pillars of the Earth explores the enduring human spirit's quest to create something beautiful from chaos and despair.
