Krátky popis
The first in Ken Follett's bestselling Century Trilogy, Fall of
Giants is a captivating 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. A world in chaos.
1911, a thirteen-year-old boy, Billy Williams, begins working down
the mines as George V is crowned king.The escalating arms race
between the empire nations will put not only the king but this
young boy in grave danger. A terrible war. Billy's family is
inextricably linked with the Fitzherberts, the aristocratic owners
of the coal mine where he works.And when Maud Fitzherbert falls in
love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German embassy in London,
their destiny also becomes entangled with that of Gus Dewar, an
ambitious young aide to Woodrow Wilson, and two orphaned Russian
brothers, the Peshkovs, whose plan to emigrate to America falls
foul of conscription, revolution and imminent war. A revolution
that will change everything. When Russia convulses in bloody
revolution and the Great War unfolds, the five families' futures
are entwined forever, love bringing them closer even as conflict
takes them further apart.What seeds will be sown for further
tragedy in the twentieth century and what role will each play in
what is to come?
