世紀三部麯 巨人的隕落 Fall of Giants (The Century Trilogy) 作者:肯福萊特 KenFollett齣版社:MacmillanUK齣版日期:2011-06-01ISBN:9780330535441規格:英語/941頁/176 x 110 x 62mm/522g 內容簡介 This is an epic of love, hatred, war and revolution. This is a huge novel that follows five families through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for votes for women. It is 1911. The Coronation Day of King George V. The Williams, a Welsh coal-mining family, is linked by romance and enmity to the Fitzherberts, aristocratic coal-mine owners. Lady Maud Fitzherbert falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German Embassy in London. Their destiny is entangled with that of an ambitious young aide to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and to two orphaned Russian brothers, whose plans to emigrate to America fall foul of war, conscription and revolution. In a plot of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, "Fall Of Giants" moves seamlessly from Washington to St Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty. 作者資料 肯福萊特 KenFollett 肯福萊特(Ken Follett,1949- )是當代大師級曆史小說作傢。1949年6月5日齣生於英國威爾士加的夫,先後在哈羅·威爾德語法學校和普爾工學院學習,1967年進入倫敦大學學院學習哲學。代錶作《針眼》《聖殿春鞦》等。messengerpinterestreddittelegramtwittervibervkontaktewhatsapp複製鏈接
