书籍简介

畅销书作家Ken Follett的《中世纪三部曲前传：夜与清晨》是一部历史史诗，它将结束于地球之柱开始之处。

冲突时期

公元997年，黑暗时代的结束，英格兰面临着来自西边的威尔士和东边的维京人的攻击。生活是艰难的，而那些有权有势的人严酷地使用它，按照自己的意愿扭曲正义——常常与国王发生冲突。由于他对国家的控制很脆弱，而且没有明确的法治，统治期间出现了混乱和流血。

三个人交织在一起

在这个不确定的世界里，有三个人脱颖而出:一个年轻的造船者，他梦想着更好的未来，一场毁灭性的海盗袭击摧毁了他和他所爱的女人所希望的生活;一个诺曼·贵妇人，她跟随她深爱的丈夫漂洋过海来到一个新的地方，却发现她的生活与这里截然不同;还有一位有能力的修道士，他梦想着把他简陋的修道院改造成一个风靡欧洲的学术中心。

新时代的曙光

在这部史诗般的故事中，这三个人将在中世纪的黎明与一位无情的主教展开危险的冲突，这位主教为了增加他的财富和权力会不择手段，他讲述了野心与竞争、死亡与出生、爱与恨的故事。

From the bestselling author Ken Follett, The Evening and the Morning is a historical epic that will end where The Pillars of the Earth begins.

A TIME OF CONFLICT

It is 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages, and England faces attacks from the Welsh in the west and the Vikings in the east. Life is hard, and those with power wield it harshly, bending justice according to their will – often in conflict with the king. With his grip on the country fragile and with no clear rule of law, chaos and bloodshed reign.

THREE LIVES INTERTWINED

Into this uncertain world three people come to the fore: a young boatbuilder, who dreams of a better future when a devastating Viking raid shatters the life that he and the woman he loves hoped for; a Norman noblewoman, who follows her beloved husband across the sea to a new land only to find her life there shockingly different; and a capable monk at Shiring Abbey, who dreams of transforming his humble abbey into a centre of learning admired throughout Europe.

THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE

Now, with England at the dawn of the Middle Ages, these three people will each come into dangerous conflict with a ruthless bishop, who will do anything to increase his wealth and power, in an epic tale of ambition and rivalry, death and birth, and love and hate.

Thirty years ago we were introduced to Kingsbridge in The Pillars of the Earth, and now in this masterful prequel international bestseller Ken Follett will take us on a journey into a rich past, which will end where his masterpiece begins.
