You've never seen The Pillars of the Earth like this before. Ken Follett's global bestseller as a lavishly designed graphic novel series. England in 1123 is a time of bloody conflict between the nobility, the clergy and the common people, who are suffering from exploitation and hardship. Master builder Tom Builder and his family are also fighting for survival. Tom's dream of one day building an important church is distant, little more than a pipe dream. But on a particularly cold night, his wife dies and makes him a promise as she dies: to realise his dream and build a cathedral in her memory. Ken Follett's first Kingsbridge novel, The Pillars of the Earth, has been the talk of the town for decades. Read, loved, seen as a film. Together with Belgian artists Didier Alcante and Steven Dupré, Follett is now presenting his global bestseller in a completely different guise: as an atmospherically staged graphic novel. See and read how it all began. Follow Tom Builder, his wife and his sons into the wintry forest and discover with them the dream of a cathedral the likes of which the world has never seen before. Volume 1 with the first part of the epic, opulently designed, printed in four colours throughout.
