reading suggestions
February 7, 2009 by
Now that winter has come – in many areas there is already enough snow to make the landscape look like in a fairy tale. And that brings us directly to the topic: Why not read some tales again? There is a wonderful new book with tales: The Tales of Beedle the Bard (german title: Die Märchen von Beedle dem Barden by Joanne K. Rowling of Harry Potter fame. It contains five wonderfully illustrated tales (the illustrations were done by J.K. Rowling herself) and is surely going to be a bestseller soon.
My next suggestion is a real classic: “The Pillars of the World” by Ken Follet (again, as I am german, the german title: Die Säulen der Erde), a novel with colorful insight to life in the medieval ages in England. A very complex story about quite a lot of people involved in building a cathedral or some in trying to prevent it…
And if you like the writing style of Ken Follet and if you like the middle ages – why not stick with him and read “World without End” (german title: Die Tore der Welt) It is somehow a sequel to “The Pillars of the World”, as it plays in the same city only 200 years later and some of the protagonists are descendants of the first book’s heroes. At a closer look it a self-contained independent story, but as captivating as its predecessor!

I have read World Without End, which is kind of a sequel to this book. And it was a pretty awesome book. Can't imagine that Ken Follett has been able to switch genres so completely and successfully.
I should definitely read this book as well.

Per non parlare poi dei DRM, per cui devi leggerti quel libro per forza dove dicono loro.
