Viking The Evening and Morning - Boek - MPN 478501474800000 - EAN 9780525954989

The Evening and the Morning is a historical novel by Ken Follett, a gripping prequel to The Pillars of the Earth. Set at the dawn of a new era, it follows three intertwined lives amid a land torn by Welsh and Viking threats, power struggles, and shifting loyalties. A young boatbuilder, a Norman noblewoman, and a monk each confront danger and ambition as they navigate a world where justice is bent to the will of the powerful, and chaos threatens ordinary people. The story builds toward the world and events that will lead into The Pillars of the Earth, offering a sweeping panorama of ambition, rivalry, birth, and death in medieval England.

Two other threads deepen the drama: a ruthless bishop who seeks wealth and influence, and the personal costs of love, faith, and survival in turbulent times. Follett invites readers to witness how ordinary lives are tested by grand forces, while weaving personal stories of courage, loyalty, and resilience into a larger historical tapestry.
