On the day after Halloween, in the year 1327, four children slip away from the cathedral city of Kingsbridge. They are a thief, a bully, a boy genius and a girl who wants to be a doctor. In the forest they see two men killed.
As adults, their lives will be braided together by ambition, love, greed and revenge. They will see prosperity and famine, plague and war. One boy will travel the world but come home in the end; the other will be a powerful, corrupt nobleman. One girl will defy the might of the medieval church; the other will pursue an impossible love. And always they will live under the long shadow of the unexplained killing they witnessed on that fateful childhood day.
World Without End is followed by the third of Ken Follett's Kingsbridge novels, A Column of Fire.

Veinte años después de la publicación de Los pilares de la Tierra, Ken Follett volvía al fascinante mundo de Kingsbridge para presentar a sus lectores un retrato admirable del mundo medieval y una magnífica saga épica que aporta una nueva dimensión a la ficción histórica.

La publicación de Los pilares de la Tierra supuso un acontecimiento editorial sin precedentes que cautivó a millones de lectores.

En Un mundo sin fin Ken Follett vuelve al fascinante mundo de Kingsbridge dos siglos después de la construcción de su majestuoso templo gótico. La catedral y el priorato ocupan de nuevo el centro de una encrucijada de amor y de odio, orgullo y codicia. En un mundo en que defensores a ultranza de las viejas costumbres luchan con encono con las mentes más progresistas, la intriga y la tensión llegan rápidamente a límites insoportables con el devastador telón de fondo de la Peste Negra, que aniquiló a la mitad de la población europea.

Intriga, asesinatos, hambruna, plagas y guerras. Un retrato admirable del mundo medieval y una novela extraordinaria que aporta una nueva dimensión a la ficción histórica.

World Without End takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building the exquisite Gothic cathedral that was at the heart of The Pillars of the Earth. The cathedral and the priory are again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge, but this sequel stands on its own. This time the men and women of an extraordinary cast of characters find themselves at a crossroads of new ideas—about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In a world where proponents of the old ways fiercely battle those with progressive minds, the intrigue and tension quickly reach a…
