书籍简介

肯·福莱特 (Ken Follett) 创作的宏伟历史史诗以五个相互关联的家庭经历一战、俄国革命和争取妇女选举权的斗争的重大戏剧性事件开始。一个十三岁的威尔士男孩在矿井中进入了男人的世界。……一位失恋的美国法学院学生在伍德罗·威尔逊 (Woodrow Wilson) 的白宫找到了一份令人惊讶的新工作。……贵族菲茨赫伯特 (Fitzherberts) 的管家迈出了超越其地位的致命一步，而莫德·菲茨赫伯特夫人 (Lady Maud Fitzherbert) 本人在爱上德国间谍时深入了禁区。……当两个俄罗斯孤儿兄弟移民美国的计划与战争、征兵和革命发生冲突时，他们走上了截然不同的道路。从煤矿的泥土和危险到宫殿闪闪发光的吊灯，从权力的走廊到权贵的卧室，《巨人的陨落》带领我们走进五个家族错综复杂的命运——并带我们进入一个我们自以为了解的世纪，但现在看来它再也回不到从前了。...

Ken Follett’s magnificent historical epic begins as five interrelated families move through the momentous dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women’s suffrage. A thirteen-year-old Welsh boy enters a man’s world in the mining pits. . . . An American law student rejected in love finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson’s White House. . . . A housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with a German spy. . . . And two orphaned Russian brothers embark on radically different paths when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution. From the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty, Fall of Giants takes us into the inextricably entangled fates of five families—and into a century that we thought we knew, but that now will never seem the same again. . . .
