Ken Follett’s extraordinary historical epic, the Century Trilogy, reaches its sweeping, passionate conclusion.
InFall of Giants andWinter of the World, Ken Follett followed the fortunes of five international families—American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh—as they made their way through the twentieth century. Now they come to one of the most tumultuous eras of all: the 1960s through the 1980s, from civil rights, assassinations, mass political movements, and Vietnam to the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, presidential impeachment, revolution—and rock and roll.
Praise for the CenturyTrilogy

“Few works set out with such a grand concept as Ken Follett’s new Century trilogy, but part one suggests that the series will be one of the literary masterpieces of our time . . . while grand events and themes are at the core of the novel, it is the richness of the characters and the intertwining of their often disparate stories that steal the show”  — Sunday Times

“Perhaps no British author better illustrates the forces at work in international publishing than can give birth to, and then grow, a global brand... If such books deliver the simple pleasures of escape, maybe they hold up a distant mirror to their readers too”  — Independent

“This is hi-octane storytelling, all the more powerful because the story it tells is, mostly, true. Follett’s command of the vast forces he unleashes is as impressive as the battle strategies of his generals, and in many cases more so... overall Follett is masterly in conveying so much drama and historical information so vividly”  — Scotsman

“The master storyteller, Ken Follett, knits together British, American, German and Russian points of view from the start to the end of the First World War into a fascinating and remarkably fertile tapestry of society and politics” — The Times

East German teacher Rebecca Hoffmann discovers she’s been spied on by the Stasi for years and commits an impulsive act that will affect her family for the rest of their lives... George Jakes, the child of a mixed-race couple, bypasses a corporate law career to join Robert F. Kennedy’s Justice Department and finds himself in the middle of not only the seminal events of the civil rights battle but a much more personal battle of his own... Cameron Dewar, the grandson of a senator, jumps at the chance to do some official and unofficial espionage for a cause he believes in, only to discover that the world is a much more dangerous place than he’d imagined... Dimka Dvorkin, a young aide to Nikita Khchev, becomes an agent both for good and for ill as the United States and the Soviet Union race to the brink of nuclear war, while his twin sister, Tanya, carves out a role that will take her from Moscow to Cuba to Prague to Warsaw—and into history.

肯·福莱特（Ken Follett，1949— ），当代大师级惊悚小说作家。1949年6月5日生于英国威尔士，在伦敦念完大学后曾任新闻记者，后专职写作。1978年以《针眼》一书荣获埃德加·爱伦·坡佳小说奖，蜚声，年仅27岁。之后又有《圣彼得堡来客》《与狮同眠》等多部小说全世界，奠定了不可动摇的大师地位。
福莱特的作品一大特色是内容都有史实根据。历史上的真实人物与小说中的虚构角色，天衣无缝地融合在一起。其栩栩如生的人物刻画、高潮迭起的情节铺陈，精致准确的细节描绘，让读者在亦真亦幻之中，与历史时代共浮沉，和历史人物同悲喜，得到无比的乐趣。
福莱特还擅长描写爱情，用纤细动人的笔触，捕捉男女间微妙的感情变化，使他的惊悚小说同时也是的爱情小说。

CHAPTER ONE
Rebecca Hoffmann was summoned by the secret police on a rainy Monday in 1961.
It began as an ordinary morning. Her husband drove her to work in his tan Trabant 500. The graceful old streets of
central Berlin still had gaps from wartime bombing, except where new concrete buildings stood up like ill-matched false teeth. Hans was thinking about his job as he drove. “The courts serve the judges, the lawyers, the police, the government—everyone except the victims of crime,” he said. “This is to be expected in Western capitalist countries, but under Communism the courts ought surely to serve the people. My colleagues don’t seem to realize that.” Hans worked for the Ministry of Justice.
“We’ve been married almost a year, and I’ve known you for two, but
I’ve never met one of your colleagues,” Rebecca said.
“They would bore you,” he said immediately. “They’re all lawyers.”
“Any women among them?”
“No. Not in my section, anyway.” Hans’s job was administration:
appointing judges, scheduling trials, managing courthouses.
“I’d like to meet them, all the same.”
Hans was a strong man who had learned to rein himself in. W 英文原版 永恒的边缘 英文原版 世纪三部曲3 Edge of Eternity 英文版历史 下载 mobi epub pdf txt 电子书 格式
