The Pillars of the Earth
''The Pillars of the Earth'' is a historical novel by Ken Follett published in 1989 about the building of a cathedral in the fictional town of Kingsbridge, England. It is set in the middle of the 12th century, primarily during the Anarchy, between the time of the sinking of the ''White Ship'' and the murder of Thomas Becket. The book traces the development of Gothic architecture out of the preceding Romanesque architecture, and the fortunes of the Kingsbridge priory and village against the backdrop of historical events of the time.
Before this novel was published, Follett was known for writing in the thriller genre. ''The Pillars of the Earth'' became his best-selling work. The book was listed at no. 33 on the BBC's Big Read, a 2003 survey with the goal of finding the "nation's best-loved book".〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top100.shtml〕 The book was selected in the United States for Oprah's Book Club in 2007. Follett published a sequel, entitled ''World Without End'' (2007).〔http://ken-follett.com/bibliography/the_pillars_of_the_earth/〕
