Never / Ken Follett

London : Pan Books, 2022

Abstract: In the Sahara Desert, two elite intelligence agents are on the trail of a powerful group of drug-smuggling terrorists, risking their lives—and, when they fall desperately in love, their careers—at every turn. Nearby, a beautiful young widow fights against human traffickers while traveling illegally to Europe with the help of a mysterious man who may not be who he says he is. In China, a senior government official with vast ambitions for himself and his country battles against the older Communist hawks in the government, who may be pushing China—and its close military ally, North Korea—to a place of no return. ...

Kingsbridge trilógia. 2: Az idők végezetéig / Ken Follett

[S.l.] : Gabo, 2020

Abstract: A Kingsbridge-trilógia 2. kötete, A katedrális folytatása kétszáz évvel később, a 14. században játszódik. A szereplők a katedrális legendás építőinek leszármazottai, akik ugyanúgy küzdenek az élettel, mint elődeik. Az Európán végigsöprő pestisjárvány a hajósok és a kereskedők közvetítése révén felüti fejét az angliai kisvárosban is, és éveken keresztül változatlan erővel tombol, szedi áldozatait. A Benedekrendi kolostor ispotálya az egyetlen hely a városban, ahol a beteg emberek menedéket kaphatnak. A járvány közepette sem állhat meg azonban az élet: meg kell erősíteni az életveszélyessé vált hidat, a katedrális megroggyant tornyát helyre kell állítani, s az elöljáróságnak és a céheknek biztosítaniuk kell a város működését, megélhetését. Gyilkos indulatok, minden nehézséget áthidaló szerelmek közepette zajlik az élet Kingsbridge-ben. Ez a hatalmas ívű történet filmszerűen pergő cselekménnyel méltó folytatása A katedrálisnak.

Kingsbridge trilógia. 1: A katedrális / Ken Follett

[S.l.] : Gabo, 2020

Abstract: A nagyszabású, több évszázadot átölelő Kingsbridge-trilógia története az angliai kisvárosban, Kingsbridge-ben kezdődik a l2. században. A tehetséges és ambiciózus Benedek-rendi perjel, Philip az apátság számára új templomot akar építeni, amely a világ legnagyobb gótikus katedrálisa lesz. Építőmestere az isteni tehetségű Tom, aki kreativitásával és szárnyaló fantáziájával képes felépíteni a 123 méter magas templomtornyot, ami sok évszázadon át a város büszkesége lesz. Mindez egy polgárháború kellős közepén történik, ahol Philipnek meg kell küzdenie célja megvalósításáért saját egyházának szűklátókörűségével és az emberi irigységgel is. Vér, ármány és szerelem, zsarnokság, hűség és árulás – A katedrális filmszerűen pergő, sodró lendületű cselekménye életre kelti a régi Angliát, ahol a 12. századi embereket ugyanolyan érzelmek mozgatták, mint a 21. századiakat.

A column of fire / Ken Follett

London : Pan Books, 2018

Abstract: Christmas 1558, and young Ned Willard returns home to Kingsbridge to find his world has changed. The ancient stones of Kingsbridge Cathedral look down on a city torn by religious hatred. Europe is in turmoil as high principles clash bloodily with friendship, loyalty and love, and Ned soon finds himself on the opposite side from the girl he longs to marry, Margery Fitzgerald. Then Elizabeth Tudor becomes queen and all of Europe turns against England. The shrewd, determined young monarch sets up the country’s first secret service to give her early warning of assassination plots, rebellions and invasion plans. Elizabeth knows that alluring, headstrong Mary Queen of Scots lies in wait in Paris. Part of a brutally ambitious French family, Mary has been proclaimed the rightful ruler of England, with her own supporters scheming to get rid of the new queen.

Kingsbridge trilógia. 3: A tűzoszlop / Ken Follett

[S.l.] : Gabo, 2017

Abstract: 1558. ​Anglia. Stuart Mária és Tudor Erzsébet vetélkedik a trónért. Az angol katolikus arisztokrácia Mária oldalán áll, Erzsébetet, aki sokkal türelmesebb vallási kérdésekben, az anglikán egyházhoz csatlakozó protestánsok és puritánok támogatják. Erzsébet ellen uralkodása alatt számtalan merényletet kíséreltek meg – gyakran Stuart Mária támogatásával – a katolikusok, akik mellett jelentős külföldi erők is álltak. Erzsébet okos és tehetséges kémfőnöke a kingsbridge-i kereskedőcsaládból származó Ned Willard, aki a 16. század egyik legnagyobb besúgóhálózatát építi ki, és sikeresen hiúsítja meg az Erzsébet királynő ellen tervezett merényleteket. Ned Willard életének nagy szerelme a katolikus Margery Fitzgerald, akivel együtt nőtt fel Kingsbridge-ben. A lány testvére, a ravasz, okos és elszánt Rollo Fitzgerald több évtizeden keresztül sikeresen csempészi be Jean Langlais álnéven Franciaországból a képzett merénylőket. Ned Willard csak több évtized után, egy véletlen folytán jön rá, hogy tulajdonképpen sógora irányította az összes merényletet. A 16. századi Európában dúl a vallási küzdelem, Spanyolországban és a Németalföldön az inkvizició tűzzel, vassal írtja a Svájcból terjedő protestáns hitet, Párizsban a Guise hercegek a Szent Bertalan-éjen számolnak le a kálvinistákkal. Az egykor pompázatos kingsbridge-i katedrálisban viszont fehérre meszelték a falakat, és fehér galléros sötét szürke ruhában tartják istentiszteleteiket a szintén vakbuzgó puritánok. A trilógia előző részeihez hasonlóan az izgalmas, pergő cselekményen keresztül megelevenedik a 16. századi Anglia élete, de Ken Follett kitágítja a színteret: izgalmas történetek játszódnak Spanyolországban, Franciaországban és a Németalföldön is.

Century trilogy. 2: Winter of the world / Ken Follett

New York : Dutton, 2012

Abstract: Berlin in 1933 is in upheaval. Eleven-year-old Carla von Ulrich struggles to understand the tensions disrupting her family as Hitler strengthens his grip on Germany. Into this turmoil steps her mother’s formidable friend and former British MP, Ethel Leckwith, and her student son, Lloyd, who soon learns for himself the brutal reality of Nazism. He also encounters a group of Germans resolved to oppose Hitler - but are they willing to go so far as to betray their country? Such people are closely watched by Volodya, a Russian with a bright future in Red Army Intelligence. The international clash of military power and personal beliefs that ensues will sweep over them all as it rages from Cable Street in London’s East End to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, from Spain to Stalingrad, from Dresden to Hiroshima. At Cambridge Lloyd is irresistibly drawn to dazzling American socialite Daisy Peshkov, who represents everything his left-wing family despise. But Daisy is more interested in aristocratic Boy Fitzherbert - amateur pilot, party lover and leading light of the British Union of Fascists. Back in Berlin, Carla worships golden boy Werner from afar. But nothing will work out the way they expect as their lives and the hopes of the world are smashed by the greatest and cruellest war in the history of the human race.

Mondo senza fine / Ken Follett

Milano : Mondadori, 2008

Oscar. Grandi bestsellers

Abstract: È il 1327. Il giorno di Ognissanti quattro bambini si allontanano di nascosto dal priorato di Kingsbridge e assistono per caso nella foresta all'omicidio di due uomini. Da allora le vite di questi ragazzi saranno indissolubilmente legate tra loro e, una volta adulti, conosceranno amore, avidità, ambizione e vendetta. Vivranno momenti di prosperità e carestia, malattia e guerra. Ma su ciascuno resterà l'ombra di quell'inspiegabile delitto di cui furono testimoni in quel fatidico giorno della loro infanzia. Ken Follett ritorna al Medioevo ambientando "Mondo senza fine" due secoli dopo la costruzione della cattedrale gotica di Kingsbridge, sullo sfondo di un lento ma inesorabile mutamento - che rivoluzionerà tanto le arti quanto le scienze - in cui ci si lascia alle spalle il buio e si cominciano a intravedere i primi bagliori di una nuova epoca.
