Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth is perhaps his most popular and enduring novel. In Pillars of the Almighty, the talents of photographer f-stop Fitzgerald bring the central image of Follett’s masterpiece – the building of a Gothic cathedral – excitingly to life. Fitzgerald’s photographs of world-famous cathedrals are magnificent by themselves. But by combining them with excerpts from Follett’s novel, Fitzgerald has captured the challenge and heartache, determination and ultimate glory of Tom and Jack’s quest to build Kingsbridge Cathedral amid the hardships of life in twelfth-century England.
Since Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth was published in 1989, it has sold more than two and a half million copies. Now, the central images of Follett’s epic 12th-century English tale come to life again–this time in an excerpted text illustrated with stunning photographs of cathedrals by f-stop Fitzgerald.
