The Pillars of the Earth: Book One – From the Ashes (Ken Follett’s)

Set around the building of a cathedral in medieval England, in the fictitious town of Kingsbridge, the historical tale traces the development and disputes between clergy, nobility and the simple people, suffering from exploitation. The adaptation of Ken Follett’s story switches between the narrative perspective of a young noble named Aliena, Jack the ambitious architect, and Philip, a monk.
