世紀三部麯 永恒邊緣 Edge of Eternity(The Century Trilogy) 作者:肯福萊特 KenFollett齣版社:MacmillanUK齣版日期:2015-07-02ISBN:9781447287957規格:英語/1184頁/178 x 111 x 50mm/3176g 內容簡介 As the decisions made in the corridors of power bring the world to the brink of oblivion, five families from across the globe are brought together in an unforgettable tale of passion and conflict during the Cold War. When Rebecca Hoffmann, a teacher in East Germany, finds herself pursued by the secret police, she discovers that she has been living a lie. Her younger brother, Walli, longs to escape across the Berlin Wall to Britain to become part of the burgeoning music scene. In the United States, George Jakes, a bright young lawyer in the Kennedy administration, is a fierce supporter of the Civil Rights movement - as is the woman he is in love with, Verena, who works for Martin Luther King, Jr. Boarding a Greyhound bus in Washington to protest against segregation, they begin a fateful journey together. Russian activist, Tania Dvorkin, narrowly evades capture for producing an illegal news sheet. Her actions are made all the more perilous as her brother, Dimka, is a rising star in the heart of the Communist Party in the Kremlin. From the deep south of America to the vast expanses of Siberia, from the shores of Cuba to the swinging streets of Sixties' London, Edge of Eternity is a sweeping tale of the fight for individual freedom in a world gripped by the mightiest clash of superpowers anyone has ever known. 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
